Alderwood Little League teams are managed and coached by volunteers, typically parents of the players. Every team, from T Ball to Seniors, needs one manager and at least two coaches. Managers and coaches must demonstrate leadership ability and the capacity to work effectively with young children. Teaching teamwork, good sportsmanship, and discipline should be the primary goals of all managers and coaches.

All managers and coaches are appointed by the President of Alderwood Little League and are subject to approval by the Board of Directors. There is no seniority or tenure in serving as a manager or coach from one year to the next.

Alderwood Little League provides training for all managers and coaches. In addition, volunteers are encouraged to attend the player clinics hosted by Alderwood Little League. Visit our Resources and Training page for more materials, including Coaching the Alderwood Way and links to coaching resources available online.

Major, Junior, and Senior division manager applications are due in early December.
