Volunteer Roles

The head coach plays a key role in creating a positive, inclusive, and development-focused environment for all players. Their responsibilities include planning and running effective practices that build fundamental skills such as throwing, catching, hitting, and teamwork, while keeping sessions fun and age-appropriate. The coach must be able to work with children of all skill levels, offering encouragement and guidance tailored to each player’s needs and abilities to help them grow and enjoy the game. Clear and consistent communication with players, parents, and assistant coaches is essential, including sharing practice and game schedules, team expectations, and any updates throughout the season alongside the team mom. The head coach sets the tone for sportsmanship, respect, and team spirit both on and off the field.

The assistant coach plays a supportive and active role in helping the head coach run a successful and enjoyable season. Their primary responsibility is to assist in executing practice plans, offering hands-on instruction during drills, and providing encouragement to players of all skill levels. They help maintain structure and focus during practices and games by reinforcing the head coach’s strategies and expectations. Assistant coaches also contribute by offering individual attention to players, helping with warm-ups, managing the dugout, and stepping in wherever needed to ensure everything runs smoothly. Their teamwork with the head coach and positive engagement with all players are essential in creating a fun, safe, and developmental environment for the team.

A team mom plays a crucial role in supporting the organization and smooth operation of a youth sports team. Responsibilities include managing and updating the team calendar with important dates such as practices, games, and team events to keep all families informed. The team mom also creates and maintains a snack schedule, ensuring that each family takes a turn providing post-game snacks. For teams with players 5U and older, she is responsible for assigning official scorers for each game, coordinating with parents to ensure accurate scorekeeping. In T-ball and younger divisions, the team mom also organizes dugout volunteers to help keep players safe, focused, and ready during games. Overall, the team mom is a vital communication link between coaches and families, helping the season run smoothly and efficiently.
