Manager/Coach Selection Policy:  In addition to teaching baseball and administering a team, managers and coaches are charged with developing self-discipline and good sportsmanship, and serving as role models for players and parents, as summarized in the attached “WSLL Standards for Managers and Coaches.”  The board evaluates candidates based upon these standards, as well as participation in league activities, and meeting administrative requirements, including the prompt return of player evaluations and equipment.  Evidence of these attributes is collected from a variety of sources, including candidate interviews, league director evaluations, manager selection committee and board of director experiences, and evaluations and comments received from parents.  Because these are our ultimate criteria and because there may be more deserving candidates than positions, managing a team one year is not a guarantee of being selected to manage that team in any other year. 

I, 											, hereby apply to manage or coach in The West Springfield Little League.  It is my understanding that the Manager Selection Committee of The WSLL Board of Directors will propose a slate to The WSLL Board of Directors of the most qualified candidates for approval.  I have read the WSLL “Standards for Managers and Coaches” and agree to abide by these standards and to observe WSLL's published rules and regulations.
