Being a Division Manager or Coach
Being a division manager or coach requires time, patience, and basic knowledge of the game of baseball. You may be required to attend meetings, instructional sessions, or seminars. You will communicate with the parents/guardians of your players to inform them of any schedule changes, rainouts, and Little League events and activities.

 

As a division manager or coach, you have more interaction with young people than anyone else in Little League. Therefore, it is important that you understand the goals and virtues of the Little League program in order to effectively communicate them to your players.  Send us an email to inquire more about coaching to base.ball@tulsalittleleague.org .

 

Being an Umpire
Aside from calling ball or strike, safe or out, umpires are responsible for teaching players good sportsmanship and the rules of the game. Umpires are also called upon to interpret rules and help settle minor disputes that may occur during games.  Most Little League games have one home plate umpire and a minimum of one field umpire. Before becoming a home plate umpire you may be required to participate in training sessions and seminars.  Our Tulsa Little League umpires are trained and paid to umpire our games.  Email us at umpire@tulsalittleleague.org if you are interested in finding out more about being an umpire.

 

Safety Officer
Coordinates all safety activities; ensures the safety in player training; ensures safe playing conditions; coordinates reporting and prevention of injuries; solicits suggestions for making conditions safer, and reports suggestions to Little League International through the league President. Please email us to inquire about volunteering to be the Safety Officer at base.ball@tulsalittleleague.org .

 

Other Volunteers

We have other task duties where help is needed on an as needed  basis.  Such events as the Pitch, Hit, Run, Throw contest where we need volunteers for one evening.  Another task is to laminate the coach badges.  If you can server to fill quick duties as this, we'd like to have your name on our list of volunteers.  Please send us an email indicating you can volunteer in some capacity to base.ball@tulsalittleleague.org .
