2026 Coach/Volunteer Compliance Guide
*Winterball Update*
We applaud and appreciate coaches for the volunteer hours they dedicate to our Rancho Little League youth! 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.
Due by February 14 for Managers, Assistant Coaches & Team Parents
No one should be coaching our kids without completing this entire process.
