Little League Coaches

Coaches must be leaders. All must recognize that they hold a position of trust and responsibility in a program that deals with a sensitive and formative period of a child’s development.

It is required that the coach have understanding, patience and the capacity to work with children. The coach should be able to inspire respect. Above all else, coaches must realize that they are helping to shape the physical, mental and emotional development of young people.

Anyone interested in being a coach should be willing to undergo a screening process that does include a background check, as well as interviews with those with personal knowledge of your qualifications.

Coaches will hold practices weekly or two times per week and conduct games as scheduled by the league.
 
Coaches are also responsible for ensuring that their field is maintained (trash cans emptied regularly; litter removed from field, dugouts, stands, and surrounding areas; grass cut, drag infield with Gator, chalk lines on field for games, and report any other maintenance issues to the board of directors.)

Umpires

What an incredible responsibility, but more importantly, what a great opportunity. Each time you work a game, you have the opportunity to look and carry yourself professionally; teach the points of fair play, enforce rules in an equitable manner and make the experience for those children the best, most fun and most positive it can be.

You are a role model, and the next time you are preparing for your game, keep in mind that you are making a difference.

APLL will provide umpire gear. All we need is you!

Field Maintenance

There is much to do at our field and we need many hands to help make our fields ready for our players. Typical field maintenance includes:

- Litter removal
- Mowing of grass
- Weed removal
- Leveling of fields with field maintenance vehicles
- Moving clay
- General repair work

Field maintenance is a flexible volunteer opportunity and the more hands we have on deck, the easier the task is for everyone involved!

"In Kind" Service or Donation

APLL can always utilize assistance in many different forms through In kind service and/or donations.

Donations other than financial assistance could include things like sports equipment, building materials, lawn service equipment, and/or A/C, electrical or plumbing materials.

In regards to service donations - building maintenance, driveway maintenance, lawn maintenance, electrician service, A/C technician, Plumber - are just a few examples of needs we have.

There are many different ways to help and in some cases your work can be exchanged for sponsorship packages.

Please contact us if your business is interested in helping the league.
