MANAGER / COACH APPLICATION – Continued

The mission of the Pacwest Little League is to provide a safe, supportive environment for the children of our community in

which to learn sportsmanship, teamwork, skills and a respect for the game of baseball and softball.

The Managers and Coaches of Pacwest Little League are the most important part of our organization. They are in a

position to greatly determine the quality of each player’s experience. Pacwest Little League strives to select those

individuals for managing and coaching positions who will best exemplify the values of the Little League Baseball and

Softball. The League will support the managers and coaches through coaching clinics, safety clinics and other activities

designed to enhance their teaching and leadership skills and knowledge.

There are no vested managers or coaches in Little League Baseball or Softball. Each manager and coach must apply each

season. Prospective candidates will be evaluated on the following: leadership, teaching ability, commitment, enjoyment,

organizational skills, sportsmanship, past experience and their ability to be a role model for their team.

Coaching Contract

If appointed to a Coaching position within the Pacwest Little League, I will:

• Fully participate in all League activities including coaching clinics, safety meetings, fundraisers and special programs.

• Treat players, players’ parents, fellow coaches, umpires, scorekeepers, and league officials with respect at all times.

• Set an example, both on and off the playing field, of good sportsmanship for players.

• Build confidence in my players.

• Demonstrate positive methods for resolving conflicts.

• Provide team with a reasonable number of practices.

• Not use nor allow others to use:

o Tobacco products of any kind (adult use in designated areas only).

o Alcohol, during or preceding involvement with players in practices and games.

o Profanity, abusive, highly critical, or demeaning language.

• Take responsibility for all League equipment and fields entrusted to my team and ensure that all equipment is returned at

the end of season.

• Be a “team” player by acting in the best interests of the League.

• Be knowledgeable about and follow all Little League rules, including Local Rules.

• Promptly advise my division representative and Player Agent of significant player related issues

• Must perform field preparation, maintenance and cleanup, as needed.

• Prohibit parents and other persons from assuming a coaching role during Little League events without prior League approval.

• Ensure my team fulfills all fund-raising events, umpiring, concession stand and other assigned team obligations.

I understand that Pacwest Little League is committed to providing a safe, healthy and positive experience for children

while teaching them baseball and softball skills. I understand that failure to live up to any one of these promises may

result in dismissal from coaching.

Parent/Athlete Concussion Information Sheet A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that

changes the way the brain normally works. A

concussion is caused by bump, blow, or jolt to the

head or body that causes the head and brain to move

rapidly back and forth. Even a “ding,” “getting your

bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow

to the head can be serious.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF CONCUSSION?Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up

right after the injury or may not appear or be

noticed until days or weeks after the injury.

If an athlete reports one or more symptoms of concussion listed below after a bump, blow, or jolt to he head or body, s/he should be kept out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says s/he is symptom-free and it’s OK to return to play.

Did You Know?

• Most concussions occur without loss

of consciousness.

• Athletes who have, at any point in their

lives, had a concussion have an increased

risk for another concussion.

• Young children and teens are more likely to

get a concussion and take longer to recover

than adults.

SIGNS OBSERVED BY COACHING STAFF SYMPTOMS REPORTED BY ATHLETES

Appears dazed or stunned Headache or “pressure” in head

Is confused about assignment or position Nausea or vomiting

Forgets an instruction Balance problems or dizziness

Is unsure of game, score, or opponent Double or blurry vision

Moves clumsily Sensitivity to light

Answers questions slowly Sensitivity to noise

Loses consciousness (even briefly) Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy

Shows mood, behavior, or personality changes Concentration or memory problems

Can’t recall events prior to hit or fall Confusion

Can’t recall events after hit or fall Just not “feeling right” or “feeling down”

CONCUSSION DANGER SIGNSIn rare cases, a dangerous blood clot may form on

the brain in a person with a concussion and crowd

the brain against the skull. An athlete should receive

immediate medical attention if after a bump, blow,

or jolt to the head or body s/he exhibits any of the

following danger signs:

• One pupil larger than the other

• Is drowsy or cannot be awakened

• A headache that not only does not diminish,

but gets worse

• Weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination

• Repeated vomiting or nausea

• Slurred speech

• Convulsions or seizures

• Cannot recognize people or places

• Becomes increasingly confused, restless, or agitated

• Has unusual behavior

• Loses consciousness (even a brief loss of consciousness should be taken seriously)

WHY SHOULD AN ATHLETE REPORT THEIR SYMPTOMS?If an athlete has a concussion, his/her brain needs time

to heal. While an athlete’s brain is still healing, s/he is

much more likely to have another concussion. Repeat

concussions can increase the time it takes to recover.

In rare cases, repeat concussions in young athletes can

result in brain swelling or permanent damage to their

brain. They can even be fatal.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IF YOU THINK YOUR ATHLETE HAS A CONCUSSION?If you suspect that an athlete has a concussion,

remove the athlete from play and seek medical

attention. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury

yourself. Keep the athlete out of play the day of the

injury and until a health care professional, experienced

in evaluating for concussion, says s/he is symptom-free

and it’s OK to return to play.

Rest is key to helping an athlete recover from a

concussion. Exercising or activities that involve a

lot of concentration, such as studying, working on

the computer, or playing video games, may cause

concussion symptoms to reappear or get worse.

After a concussion, returning to sports and school is

a gradual process that should be carefully managed

and monitored by a health care professional.

RememberConcussions affect people differently. While

most athletes with a concussion recover

quickly and fully, some will have symptoms

that last for days, or even weeks. A more seri-

ous concussion can last for months or longer.

It’s better to miss one game than the whole season. For more information on concussions, visit: www.cdc.gov/Concussion.

Be Prepared! Every Second Counts!

What is sudden cardiac arrest? Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the sudden onset of an abnormal and lethal heart rhythm, causing the heart to stop beating and the individual to collapse. SCA is the leading cause of death in the U.S. afflicting over 300,000 individuals per year.

SCA is also the leading cause of sudden death in young athletes during sports

What causes sudden cardiac arrest? SCA in young athletes is usually caused by a structural or electrical disorder of the heart. Many of these conditions are inherited (genetic) and can develop as an adolescent or young adult. SCA is more likely during exercise or physical activity, placing student-athletes with undiagnosed heart conditions at greater risk. SCA also can occur from a direct blow to the chest by a firm projectile (baseball, softball, lacrosse ball, or hockey puck) or by chest contact from another player (called “commotio cordis”).

While a heart condition may have no warning signs, some young athletes may have symptoms but neglect to tell an adult. If any of the following symptoms are present, a cardiac evaluation by a physician is recommended:

· Passing out during exercise· Chest pain with exercise· Excessive shortness of breath with exercise· Palpitations (heart racing for no reason)· Unexplained seizures· A family member with early onset heart disease or sudden death from a heartcondition before the age of 40

How to prevent and treat sudden cardiac arrest? Some heart conditions at risk for SCA can be detected by a thorough heart screening evaluation. However, all schools and teams should be prepared to respond to a cardiac emergency. Young athletes who suffer SCA are collapsed and unresponsive and may appear to have brief seizure-like activity or abnormal breathing (gasping). SCA can be effectively treated by immediate recognition, prompt CPR, and quick access to a defibrillator (AED). AEDs are safe, portable devices that read and analyze the heart rhythm and provide an electric shock (if necessary) to restore a normal heart rhythm.

Remember, to save a life: recognize SCA, call 9-1-1, begin CPR, and use an AED as soon as possible!
