We would like to thank you for volunteering to manage or coach in our league this upcoming season.

The following is the process for applying to managing or coaching in S.Y.B. for 2012 season:

1. Complete a Volunteer Application at signups and submit it.

2. Obtain Cal Ripken Coaching Certification

3. Meet with S.Y.B. Manager/Coaching Committee (You will be contacted about time and location).

4. S.Y.B. Manager/Coaching Committee will recommend to the Board for Approval and placement on a specific team roster.

The above process applies to all potential Managers and Coaches – not just new Managers and Coaches.

Please Note: No one is the manager or coach of any team in S.Y.B. until approved and

assigned by the Board. Approval and placement will not happen until sign ups are

complete (End of Jan. 2012). If you are already in contact with parents/players,

please keep in mind that you should not promise those parents/players anything in

regards to your coaching or managing them in 2011 until you are approved by the

Board and assigned a team.

If you have any questions about the above process, feel free to contact me at 256-490-7776.

Thank you for volunteering for the 2012 S.Y.B. season.
