Welcome to the Saratoga Little League Coaches Corner. This area is dedicated to providing resources for our coaches and information to parents about our coaching programs.

Our league managers and coaches are all volunteers. SLL provides coach training and safety training for the benefit of our players. This year we have teamed up with the Positive Coachine Alliance to provide coaches and parents training (press release). In addition, managers and coaches have been provided with Safety information as well as Umpire training.

Division commissioners work to provide coaching guidelines and reinforce the teaching of baseball as our core objective. Managing and coaching is not all about winning games - it is about a positive experience for our players centered around the game of baseball.

We thank those parents and volunteers that continually help us to improve our coaching programs.
