If you are a leader with understanding, patience and the capacity to work with children, then coaching might just be for you.  Coaches play an important role in the physical, mental and emotional development of young people during their time in Little League.  They not only teach children the mechanics of the game but they also inspire respect. We are looking for POSITIVE role models to serve as team managers and coaches for both our baseball and softball divisions.
