Regular Season - Manager Selection Process
Introduction
 |
Managers and coaches hold a position of trust and responsibility in the Cactus Foothills North Little League program. These individuals must understand and appreciate that they are leading and instructing children at sensitive and formative stages of the child's development. Managers and coaches are required to have an understanding, the patience, and the capacity to work with children of all ages. Cactus Foothills North Little League requires managers and coaches to be qualified and will assess candidates against pre-defined criteria. This will ensure that the most qualified and capable individuals are selected to lead our teams. |
Manager Selection Process
NOTE: Cactus Foothills North Little League requires that candidates submit volunteer and manager/assistant coach applications. Refer to the For Our Coaches page for the applications.
Cactus Foothills North Little League follows the rules and guidelines as established in the Little League Operating Manual in the selection of managers.
The manager selection process is a follows:
- The President of Cactus Foothills North Little League creates the list of managerial nominees.
1a: The President considers all candidate applications and many factors when developing the managers’ nominee list to present to the Board. The President is under no obligation to add names suggested or requested by others to the nominee list. By rule, only the President determines candidates to put forward to the Board. - The President is the only authorized officer that presents the nominee list to the Cactus Foothills North Board of Directors for voting. The Board will take the following action(s):
2a: Board of Directors members vote individually on nominees
2b: Board of Directors members may vote “approved” or “declined” to approve or deny the entire list. – OR -
2c: Board of Directors members may vote “approved” or “declined” on particular individuals on the nominee list. - Managers are selected by a majority vote of the Cactus Foothills North Board of Directors.
- Once the vote is complete, the President shall:
4a: Notify the impacted managers that they have been approved as managers by a majority vote of the Board -OR-
4b: Seek replacements for consideration by the Board if any nominee is denied by the Board (in other words, an individual receives a majority of “declined” or “no” votes) - The voting process used by the Board of Directors determines the managers for all teams. Candidates or nominees that are not selected as managers are welcome to apply for managerial or coaching positions in future seasons.
- Upon being selected, managers shall:
6a: Be required to accept the position and to abide by all rules, regulations, policies, and requirements as identified by the League in the selection criteria
6b: Assume all duties, activities, and responsibilities for the manager role in the respective division in Cactus Foothills North Little League
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR MANAGERS: Managers that have been selected by the Cactus Foothills North Board to manage a team must not interact/engage with any assistant coach candidate as though said candidate were already a coach on his/her team in our League. The coach candidate must be approved by the Board before he/she will be an official and recognized coach in Cactus Foothills North Little League. Assistant coaches are selected AFTER the player draft (Little League Plan B Draft Format).
