The manager is the heart of our league. The ultimate responsibility for both player and team development falls upon our managers. Over the four-month season, each player’s experience of the Carlsbad Softball Association will be shaped and formed by their manager. It is imperative that all managers act as positive role models for their players, demonstrating competency, respect and good sportsmanship. Managers must understand the value of a positive learning environment by exhibiting patience and encouragement as these young girls develop and improve their skills.

 

The manager may be the only league official with which our parents and players come in contact. Thus, it is important that managers do their best to create a positive rapport with parents as they responsibly execute and support league policies. Without a doubt, managing may be one of the most difficult and important tasks within the organization; however, few positions are more rewarding. Recognizing this position as a major responsibility, the CSA board, manager coordinators, and other managers are available to assist you in any way that is needed. Whether it’s help in finding assistant coaches, learning new training techniques, or developing players, feel free to ask for help if you need it.
