For any Slowpitch role, our Coaches and Team Parents should encourage all players on your team to try their best, work to improve their skills, and HAVE FUN! All levels of coaching in our league are very rewarding, and it is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your daughter(s) and her friends. Thank you for your help!

Head Coach - The Head Coach will oversee all aspects of team and game management, organize and run practices/batting cages (Tball practices prior to games; Tball and Coach Pitch do not have batting cage time), and communicate with team. Practice plans will be made available to all coaches for specific age levels, and there will be a Coaches Clinic. We also have Player Development directors who can help as needed for your team! Head Coach will bring equipment to practices and games or get help doing so by Assistant Coaches. Should attend all practices and games.
