Each team needs a manager to be the leader. Aside from the culture of the team, the manager is responsible for planning and running practices, setting the line-up and communicating with parents.

One person can't run a team alone. Each team typically has a few coaches that help the manager execute practice plans, run drills, serve as base coaches, prepare the fields and help the manager run the team.

Volunteer umpires play a critical role in the success of the league. Volunteer umpires are needed for the AAA and Majors divisions, which are played throughout the day Saturday, and Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. We provide training and umpire equipment, so no prior experience is required.

If you don't want to take on the responsibility of an on-field volunteer, teams can still use help in other ways. Assisting managers by arranging snack duty, keeping dugouts organized and clean, helping communicate information to parents are just a few invaluable ways to give your time.

Keeping or fields in good playing condition takes takes hard work before and after every practice and game. While each team has field maintenance responsibilities, we always need more help, especially if the fields are being used after inclement weather. Dragging/raking the infield, repairing worn spot, mowing the outfield and prepping for games are just of ways to keep the fields playable.

Every division is led by a commissioner, who leads the managers and coaches, runs the preseason workouts, organizes the player selections, facilitates team rosters, sets practice and game schedules, arranges interleague play and ensures specific division rules are being followed.

Each year board elections are held, with opportunities to set the overall strategy and tone of CHLL.

CHLL can always use help in other ways, including help with community outreach, social media outreach, sponsorship, serving as an announcer at games, or even in helping organize volunteers.
