2013 CommissionersAssure your league’s season runs smoothly while maintaining a positive culture. This includes the establishment of conferences, making sure teams have scheduled games appropriately, post season planning and oversight and addressing any questions related to league play.

As necessary take the lead for any league level issues and in conjunction with the Boys or Girls Director arbitrate conflicts. When applicable, decide and communicate the consequences for individuals’ inappropriate actions.
