I hereby apply to be a volunteer Manager for DVLL. I am aware that, in addition to this Manager Application, DVLL requires all Managers to submit a Little League Volunteer Application and to allow DVLL to conduct a background investigation to evaluate my qualifications to supervise youth. I understand this evaluation is conducted solely to assure the safety of children participating in the DVLL program and that all information obtained will be held in strict confidence in accordance with applicable law.

Manager Selection Policy: In addition to teaching baseball and administering a team, Managers and coaches are charged with developing self-discipline and good sportsmanship all while serving as role models for players and parents. The board evaluates candidates based upon these requirements, including the prompt return of player evaluations, uniforms and equipment. Evidence of these attributes is collected from a variety of sources, including candidate interviews, league director evaluations, board of director experiences and evaluations and comments received from parents. Because these are our ultimate criteria, and because there may be more deserving candidates than positions, managing a team one year is not a guarantee of being selected to manage a team in any other year.

It is my understanding that Managers will be selected by the DVLL Manager Committee and the most qualified candidates will be reviewed for approval. I have read the CODE OF CONDUCT and agree to abide by these standards and to observe all DVLL and Little league International published rules and regulations. I also agree to complete a Volunteer Background Application form.

I understand that any violation of the Little League rules, local ground rules, DVLL Safety Rules or the Code of Conduct will result in disciplinary action by the BOARD OF DIRECTORS that may include immediate removal from the program.

Manager Code of Conduct

I hereby pledge to live up to my endorsement as a Deer Valley Little League Manager by following Little

League International rules, DVLL Bi-Laws and abiding by the following Code of Conduct:

1. I will place the emotional and physical well-being of my players ahead of a personal desire to win. 2. I will treat each player as an individual, remembering the large range of emotional and physical
