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.

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

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

• Provide team with a reasonable number of practices.
• Not use nor allow others to use:

• 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.

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.

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!
