Step 2: Apply

Whether or not you have coached in previous years, if you are interested in managing or coaching for the upcoming season, you must perform the following steps BEFORE your application can be considered for approval.

1. Use the Online Coaching Application to let us know which Division you are interested in coaching and whether you are interested in participating as a Manager or Coach. (You will be prompted to login if you are not already.)
   
   Completing this steps helps us to know how many applicants we have to meet the number of teams required for each Division.
   
   In addition, coaching applicants can view the information we have received from you and what is still required.
   
   
2. Complete the Online Volunteer Application (You will be prompted to login if you are not already.)
   
   Little League requires that a background check be performed on all volunteers that interact with players on a regular basis and the information provided on that form will be used both to perform the background check and for evaluating coaching applicants. Note: Your social security number is required to perform the background check but it will not be stored in our system once we process your application.
   
   Completing the volunteer application and selecting Manager and/or Coach in the Volunteer Area will also indicate your interest in coaching for the upcoming season.
   
   
3. Complete the Manager/Coach Application
   
   
4. Submit the Manager/Coach Application
   
   Both of these are required in addition to the Online Volunteer Application in order to complete your application.
