Volunteers

 Like many other sports, Softball also needs support from parents, teachers and friends   keen to commit as a COACH, SCORER, UMPIRE or MANAGER.

 Coaches

• Teaches technical skills, runs a training session during the week, teaches rules and game strategy
• Gives valuable tips during the game, decides the players’ batting order and the subs.
• To ensure the coach can concentrate on coaching during the games it is necessary that all other jobs as shown below will be filled by other helpers. The coach should not umpire!
