Introduction
Pacific Little League teams are managed and coached by volunteers, typically parents of players. Every team needs one manager, a team assistant, and at least 1-2 assistant coaches.  Prospective managers and coaches are asked at player registration to sign up on volunteer forms or make a note on their player’s registration form that they have an interest in coaching for the upcoming season. Coaches do not have to have a player in the league to be eligible. The player agent will form a list of potential coaches for the different divisions. The President, Player Agent, League VP’s and League coordinators will review the list and notify managers/coaches of their selection.
Major Manager Baseball coaches are required to apply through a written letter or e-mail to the President to request to be interviewed for a Major Manager position by January 1st of the upcoming season. A committee, run by the league president. interviews all candidates in early January. Committee is usually made up of the President, V.P. of Baseball, Player Agent, Board Member(s) and past Major Managers. The President will notify all applicants of the committee’s decision. Assistant coaches with a son/daughter player must be on the team, either through drafting of the player or the player was on last year’s teamVolunteer Application

Guidelines
Managers and coaches must provide a positive role model for all players. Managers and coaches are required to attend league sponsored trainings, and an annual coaches meeting which will provide information on the upcoming season. Please read and become familiar with the league's local rules for your division, National Little League Rules (provided to each team), parent code of conduct, and safety rules.
Team Administration
Managing a Little League team begins with a parent meeting. Hold a parent meeting prior to your first practice to set proper player and league expectations. Each parent needs to sign on for volunteer duties during the season. Managers are required to track playing time and pitching records for each player. Coaches Corner
Look here for information specifically for those who are coaching at PLL. This might include forms that you need or special instructions that the league wants you to have. In an informal poll taken on the PLL website, about 36% of responders said that "encouraging players" is the single most important aspect of making a great coach.
