The responsibilities of our coaches during the spring season includes the same as the fall season and a few more.

In addition, each team is required to find a team sponsor. Information about sponsorship requirements can be found on the FCLL Sponsorship tab of our website.

Since player eligibility for post season tournaments must be provide if requested, accurate game records must be kept. The majority of this is on record by the league in the form of completed score cards. For kid pitch divisions, accurate pitch counts must be kept and days of rest followed.

Online training is also required.

The first is a concussion protocol program developed by the CDC. The Heads Up program is a 20 minute video with a few test questions and must be required by all head coaches. At the end of the program you will receive a downloadable certificate of completion which needs to be submitted to the Safety Officer prior to your first game. 

The second is the coaching training program paid for by FCLL. Big Al's Online Coaching program is a great resource for beginning and experienced coaches. This program fulfills the Little League requirement for the FCLL to provide training to our coaching staff.

For the fall season - 

All coaches, CP and above, should attend the seasons player skills assessment or The Look. This is the only opportunity for coaches in these divisions to see basic skills of new players or players that are moving up in division. If the head coach cannot be in attendance, a team assistant coach should be there to represent the team.

All coaches are required to attend the coaches meeting. At this meeting we review the rules of FCLL and the facilities we use. We review safety information and procedures in the event of an emergency or incident. For Coach Pitch and above we hold the player draft. If the head coach cannot be in attendance, a team assistant coach should be there to represent the team.
