South Ottawa accepts applications for all-star team head coaches in the fall with the intention of announcing selections in December or early January.   Applications are available on the website under forms/docs or by contacting vpcompetitive@southottawalittleleague.ca.

Applications are welcome from parents and non parents.  Selections are made by a committee of the board of directors as specified in our policies and procedures.  Committee members may not participate in selections in divisions where their child plays.    Assistant coaches for all-star teams as well as head coaches and assistant coaches for all other summer teams are selected in early June when teams are formed.  Anyone wishing to indicate interest should contact the VP summer programs.

All-Star head coaches will be leaders who not only hold a position of trust and responsibility in the program but are also sensitive to the mental and physical limitations of children of these age groups and recognize that the game is a vehicle of training and enjoyment.

Coaching candidates must demonstrate the following to be considered:

•  Baseball knowledge through experience in baseball (coaching, playing, officiating and/or convening)

•  Coaching knowledge through experiences in coaching baseball or other sports (preferably certification)

•  The ability to work with similar age groups as required by the position (in sports, volunteer organizations or professionally)

•  The ability to handle similar levels of competition (in baseball or other sports)

•  A track record in terms of objectives achieved consistent with the level of competitiveness required of previous positions

•  Commitment level - through personal time available
