Key Team Roles:

The League cannot operate without these roles and baseball will not happen.  These roles are a great opportunity to be involved and be a part of the player experience.  To sign up for these roles indicate which role(s) you would be interested in participating in during registration.

Coach:  This important and very visible role requires a person who can ideally attend almost all the team's games and practices. A baseball background and or attendance of coach training sessions offered by KLL is also suggested. At the older levels (Minors and Majors) where practices are held, this person should develop a practice plan so the players on his/her team develop both baseball skills and an understanding of the game's rules and concepts. At KLL, an emphasis is placed on good sportsmanship as well as fairness and safety for its players, so as the Coach it is vital that this be communicated and demonstrated. A criminal background check is required.

Assistant Coach:  The Assistant Coach works with the Coach to help develop the skills of our players and ensure they also have a positive experience. The expectation is that the Assistant Coach will be at the majority of the team's games and practices. If this is not possible, then feel welcome to offer your expertise, however please do not check off Assistant Coach on your child's form, as this may result in a team not having sufficient coaching coverage. The Assistant Coach is also encouraged to attend the coaching clinic offered by KLL and must complete a background check.

Team Manager:  The Manager assists the coaches by relaying vital team communications from coaches to parents. This includes email distribution of the team list with contact numbers, and game and practice schedules. Managers make up a duty roster for parents on the team. Depending on the division, this could mean bringing snack, keeping score, or keeping the peace on a fidgety bench. Parents are responsible for arranging another team parent to substitute if they have a conflict with a scheduled duty. Please note that team duties are in addition to and independent of your volunteer duty to the league. The parents of each child on a team will be scheduled on a rotational basis by the Manager to keep score, distribute uniforms, or act as a bench/snack parent for the team.

Team Safety Person: The Team Safety Person assists throughout the season at every game by coordinating with the team coaches and managers, and umpires, to ensure that safety protocols as outlined by the league are adhered to for the safety of the players and volunteers. The Team Safety Person is to attend all team games (or find replacements for themselves for games unable to attend) and ensure that any injured player (or adult volunteer) is assessed according to the rules and substituted during the game until deemed capable to return. The Team Safety Person does not need to be medically trained but will be provided with free Concussion Protocol training and other safety documentation they will need to become familiar with, as seen on the KLL website. The Team Safety Person will also provide online Incident Reports preferably within 2 hours of the game's completion for any incident of note. The Team Safety Person is also responsible to review the playing field prior to each game for any potential safety issues. Each team must have a Team Safety Person.
