Manager Selection
Each season, the goal of Mill Creek Little League is to select the most qualified and experienced
managers to teach, supervise & lead our players. The following are some basic policies that Mill Creek
Little League uses to select managers:
There is no tenure in serving as a manager or coach in the Mill Creek Little League system. All
appointments are renewed annually.
Selection of Managers is in local jurisdiction and not subject to any intervention from District,
Regional, or Little League International.
Annual attendance of coach training/clinics via MCLL or another organization is strongly encouraged
