Training
Every year a Coaches Meeting/Clinic is held and each team is required by Little League International to have at least one representative at this meeting. Additionally, all Team Managers (Head Coaches) are required to be at this meeting at a minimum of one time every 3 years. However, we encourage all Team Managers and Assistant Coaches to attend these as it is a great review of rules, training to keep players safe and we spend time/money to ensure we have qualified people come in to train you.
This meeting is held in February before the start of spring practices.
