Welcome Baseball & Softball Managers and Coaches!

Stilly Valley Little League teams are managed and coached by volunteers, typically parents of the players. Every team, from Rookies to Seniors needs one manager and at least two coaches. Managers and coaches must possess leadership ability and the know-how to work with young children. Training Little Leaguers in the fundamentals of teamwork, good sportsmanship and discipline should be the goals of all managers and coaches.

All managers and coaches are appointed by the President of Stilly Valley Little League and are subject to the approval by the Board of Directors. There is not seniority or tenure in serving as a manager or coach year to year.

Stilly Valley Little League provides training for all managers and coaches. In addition, all managers and coaches are encouraged to attend the player's clinics hosted by Stilly Valley Little League or District 1. Please review our Coaches Guide HERE to fully understand the expectations of all Coaches in our GREAT League.

As the Chief Administrator, the President selects and appoints managers, coaches, umpires and committees. As such, no person becomes a manager, coach, umpire or committee member without the approval of the President. However, all appointments are subject to final approval by the local league's Board of Directors.

Coach selection meeting involves the SVLL Board discussion of all registered coaching candidates. Presidential appointment and Board of Director approval is required for all coaching candidate approval.

Coaching candidates are then ranked and assigned teams according to number of teams required. Total number of teams per division is dictated by total participants registered in respective SB or BB Division of play.
Ranking is required to disposition occasions where we have more coaching candidates than we do teams for assignment.

Coaches will be notified prior to tryouts if they have been awarded team.

*Board of Director members requesting to coach must also be appointed by President and approved by Board of Directors.
*Board of Director members approved as candidate to coach are not involved in the coach ranking process for the division for which they are approved to coach.
