Coaching at LPPLL
The quality of instruction that our league provides to its players is solely attributable to the individuals who step up to manage and coach each year. From January through June the work can seem never-ending, but so are the rewards. To improve the play, sportsmanship and love of the game in a child is an accomplishment no one can take from you.
- Each team has one (1) manager and two (2) assistant coaches.
- A maximum of 3 approved adults are allowed to be on the field during games.
