TEAM MANAGER – 1 per team
This position is the team lead in charge of team players, assistant coaches, and all communications between the League and parents regarding schedules, changes, and rainouts. Managers instruct players in proper baseball skills, produce player lineups and provide overall player support and encouragement. Managers also help secure team parent, team scorekeeper and field maintenance persons (when applicable).

Managers are subject to board approval and are not guaranteed a coaching position from year to year.  This position also requires attendance at Manager meetings and possible instructional sessions/coaching clinics.

Some prior knowledge of baseball is definitely helpful, but we have many resources available for both first-time and experienced managers. If you have leadership skills, and have the ability to teach and coach young kids, you could be a great fit for team manager!

JUNIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
In the spirit of developing our youth, we are proud to announce the official launch of the West Seattle Little League Junior Volunteer Program for teens ages 13-18 attending middle or high school.  

For year one we are looking for Snack Shack and Umpire volunteers. Junior Volunteers will receive a free menu item, beverage and a portion of the tips donated for each shift. After the first three shifts, participating teens will also receive a portion of dollars donated at the beginning of the year to the Junior Volunteer Program by our parents and sponsors. 

Volunteer hours will count toward school requirements. The Junior Volunteer Program (JVP) is a great way for teens to build character, courage and loyalty that will ultimately lead to more leadership opportunities.
