In addition to this Manager Application, DVLL requires all Managers and Coaches to submit a Little League Volunteer Application and to allow DVLL to conduct a background investigation to evaluate my qualifications to supervise youth. I understand this evaluation is conducted solely to assure the safety of children participating in the DVLL program and that all information obtained will be held in strict confidence in accordance with applicable law. Manager/Coach Selection Policy: In addition to teaching baseball and administering a team, managers and coaches are charged with developing self-discipline and good sportsmanship and serving as role models for players and parents. The board evaluates candidates based upon these requirements, including the prompt return of player evaluations, uniforms and equipment. Evidence of these attributes is collected from a variety of sources, including candidate interviews, league director evaluations, board of director experiences and evaluations and comments received from parents. Because these are our ultimate criteria and because there may be more deserving candidates than positions, managing a team one year is not a guarantee of being selected to manage a team in any other year. It is my understanding that the Managers and Coaches will be selected by the DVLL Manager/Coach Committee and the most qualified candidates will be reviewed for approval. I have read the CODE OF CONDUCT and agree to abide by these standards and to observe the DVLL and Little league International published rules and regulations and I agree to complete a Volunteer Background Application form. I understand that any violation of the Little League rules, local ground rules, DVLL Safety Rules or the Code of Conduct will result in disciplinary action by the BOARD OF DIRECTORS that may include in the immediate removal from the program.
