A successful coach is a planner, and researcher, who has an authentic connection to the players and families. We know what an undertaking and commitment this is for you. This guide is to help managers, coaches, team parents, umpires, and other volunteers with the requirements to ensure their safety and compliance with Little League International and the State of California.
