Managers & Coaches:

Important Information for Coaches and Managers – Spring 2026 Season
​
If you’ve signed up to coach or manage a team this season (completed the coaching paperwork and background check), THANK YOU! Your time and dedication are greatly appreciated.

Team Formation Week:
  • During January 19–23, 2026, player counts will be finalized and teams drafted.
  • Each team will have one manager. Depending on the division, a team may have two or three coaches. Younger divisions typically have more coaches than upper divisions.
  • Once teams are formed, managers will be notified of their team assignments. If you signed up to coach, your manager will contact you after their assignment.
Pancake Breakfast – January 24, 2026:
  • All managers are expected to attend the Pancake Breakfast at Mountain View Middle School to meet team members and parents.
  • Managers will receive information to contact their coach(s) of record. Some teams may have one coach; others, especially in younger divisions, may have two or three.
  • If you signed up to coach but have not been contacted before the breakfast, you can introduce yourself to your child’s manager at the event and confirm your paperwork and background check. Rest assured, if you signed up, we need your help and you will be assigned to a team.
Mandatory Managers Meeting:
  • Following the Pancake Breakfast, a Mandatory Managers Meeting will be held in the afternoon.
  • Managers and coaches will receive all necessary information about the upcoming season.
Practices:
  • Beginning Monday after the Pancake Breakfast, teams will start practicing at our ball fields throughout the city. The season is officially underway!
Meetings by Division:
  • Foal/Shetland and 6U Managers – meeting during the day
  • Softball Managers – meeting during the day
  • Baseball Managers – meeting during the day
    ​
Thank you for your patience and support during this busy week of team formation and preparation for an exciting season ahead!

Helpful Tips About Field Closures and Rain Outs
  1. No News Is Good News: If you haven’t heard anything about a field closure, assume your game or practice is still on.
  2. Decision Timing: Field closure decisions are usually made by 3:00 p.m., but unpredictable weather may require adjustments.
  3. Notification Process: Once a closure is confirmed, we post updates in this order: Facebook → Website, while Team Parents and Managers are also notified via text.
  4. Practice vs. Pool Play:
    • Practice games will not be made up.
    • Pool play games (ages 7 and up, upper divisions) will be rescheduled if cancelled.
  5. Why Fields May Be Closed or Open:
    • Closures are based on field safety, not just weather appearance.
    • Fields can be unsafe even on sunny days if there’s standing water or mud.
    • Conversely, slight rain may not close playable fields if conditions are safe.
  6. Forfeits:
    • If your team needs to forfeit, notify us immediately. Umpire scheduling depends on accurate communication.
    • Do not assume games are cancelled. If your team fails to show up and the game is officially scheduled, it will be counted as a forfeit.
  7. Safety First: Our top priority is the safety of all players, followed by keeping games on schedule.

Thank you for your cooperation! We hope you have a fun season filled with sunshine, green grass, and dry fields.
