Farm League Information

Welcome to SVLL (Snoqualmie Valley Little League) Farm League 2019!
There's some important information below, including information new for this year.

1. Coaches Needed.
2. Mandatory Parent Meeting.
3. Schedule
4. Division Information
5. Equipment


1. Coaches Needed.

We are currently short on coaches!
We cannot build teams or schedules until we get enough coaches at each level.
If we don’t get enough Coach volunteers, we may be forced to cut players randomly from the league.

Here are our current numbers & needs:
 - T-Ball- Have 1 Coach, Need 7 More.
 - Sluggers- Have 3 Coaches, Need 5 More.
 - Single A- Have 3 Coaches, Need 2 More.

SVLL is a fully volunteer-ran organization. Volunteers are what it takes to make the league work.

If you've already signed up to be a Manager (Head Coach), Thank you!
If you've signed up to be a Volunteer or Assistant Coach, would you please consider changing your sign-up to be a Head Coach?
If you haven't signed up yet- We need everyone who helps in any capacity on or off the field to be registered as a volunteer, and we would love to have you consider being a Manager/Head Coach.

SVLL provides a ton of resources and assistance, making the job fun, easy and rewarding, including access to a paid on-line training service- Big Al’s- simply, the best baseball training program available, which provides everything from a practice breakdown to individual drills. Both myself and our coaching coordinator would also be available to help plan your practices.

We typically have trouble finding Managers/Coaches at the lower levels due to a fear of ‘not knowing enough’. My best advice is that you only need to know more about baseball than a 5 year old. ?? 
We also allow co-coach/managing at the Farm League level, where multiple parents take the role of Manager, this helps in instances where scheduling is more difficult (i.e- a parent can't make all practices/games, but between 2 or 3 they can cover them all).
 
It would be great if you consider the opportunity to help have an impact on your child and the league.
Please reach out as soon as possible if you have any questions.

2. Mandatory Parent & Coaching Meeting.
