Coaches Resources

Thank you for your interest in coaching girls' softball. Our organization cannot function without volunteers such as yourself. Following is a brief description of the minimum responsibilities for each coach volunteer.

  • Create weekly practice plans (sample plans and activities are posted at this resource library for your use — no need to create plans from scratch unless you wish)
  • Hold at least one team practice per week. Practice dates and times are at the discretion of the coach but should be at a time convenient for most players and parents. Practices should run approximately an hour and a half.
  • Attend and coach one to two games per week. Games usually occur once during the week (evenings) and once on a weekend day.
  • Attend and coach skills clinics each season (fall, winter, and spring). Clinics may be substituted in place of regular team practices and are organized by SLL administration. Attendance is mandatory. Clinics standardize coaching methods and provide coaches with skills and drills for team practices.
  • Attend one skills clinic planning meeting per season.
  • Attend one safety meeting per season.
  • Complete and pass a CORI check.
  • Complete concussion protocol training.
  • Act at all times in a manner that sets a good example for all youth participants, parent spectators, and umpires.
