Clinic Requirements for the 2011 District TOC
Handout: 2011 TOC Qualified Coaches List (rev6/3)
I would like to address the clinic requirements for this year's District TOC. Since every league has submitted an approved safety plan to Little League and a required element of that safety plan is the attendance of clinics each team will need to meet that requirement in order to participate in TOC. The requirement is that all coaches and managers in our District are required to attend both a Coaches and Emergency Management clinic every three years in order to participate in the District TOC. One manager and/or coach per team must attend two required clinics for the current year. The first clinic is one that teaches skills such as the Big Al Clinic and the Waller Clinic for the big diamond. The second clinic is a safety clinic such as the Emergency Management Clinic that was conducted between the morning and afternoon sessions at the Big Al Clinic. At least once every three years coaches/managers are required to attend these clinics. In other words on a coaching staff of three, each individual will have had to attend each clinic in the last three years. And each of the two clinics will have had to be attended by a coach or manager for this current year.
Example 1 - A coaching staff made up of Manager Bob and Coaches Pete and Mike. If Bob attended both clinics two years ago (2009) and Pete and Mike attended both clinics this year (2011) they are good.
Example 2 - A coaching staff of Manager Tim and Coaches John and Sam. If Tim attended a coach's clinic in (2009) and a safety clinic (2010), and John attended both clinics in (2010) and Sam attended a coach's clinic in (2011) and a safety clinic in (2010). This staff would not qualify due to the fact they have no one who has attended a safety clinic in the current year.
Example 3 - A coaching staff of Manager Alan and Coaches Stu and Mary. If Alan attended both the coaching clinic this year (2011) and Stu attended the coaching clinic in (2010) and Mary attended both clinics in (2011) this coaching staff would not qualify due to the fact that Stu has not attended a safety clinic.
Every coach and manager must have attended both clinics in the last three years and each of the clinics must have been attended this year either by the same individual or by separate individual. Steve Taylor has compiled a list of all the attendees from the District approved events for this year and has added them to our master list. Our list now includes 2009, 2010 and 2011; Please check 2011 TOC Qualifed Coaches List for your name. We will be checking each team against this list. If you cannot prove that your coaches fulfilled these requirements, your team will be disqualified at their first game of TOC. The players should not be punished and if the manager and coaches are not qualified the whole staff can be replaced by a staff that does qualify. If you feel there is an error, please contact me before you get to the field. If you have any other questions on these requirements, please email me at llcad33@yahoo.com

A Different Way to Run Assessments (Tryouts)
We know assessments or formally called "tryouts" are stressful for the players. To have all those eyes watching you, trying to impress, feeling the pressure to do the best you can after not practicing or playing for awhile. Knowing your performance could make a difference on the division you play in the coming season.Your name is called, you are ready, the ball is coming, and BAM! A bad hop and a missed ball, now the pressure is really on. As we all know pressure has a negative effect on performance.
One of District 33's leagues have taken a different approach to running an affective but fun way for the kids to show their baseball ability and skills during assessments. Chollas Lake searched ways to make assessments less stressful for the players and coaches. They believe that have found a way for a true assessment of ability and skills for their players without the high stress level. There was also a desire to find a better way to assess new coaches. Chollas Lake has always been able to interview coaches and managers but there was not an opportunity to evaluate their ability to instruct and teach. So the fact that at many jobs they have an on the job evaluation for candidates (OJE), gave them an idea to combine both player assessment and being able to observe a manager and or coach candidates teaching and instructing. What Chollas Lake did was turned to some trusted resources Big Al, Reggie and Tye Waller.
What Chollas Lake and the Wallers came up was to have a clinic by age group on Saturday with Reggie and Tye reviewing and practicing the 5 areas that are to be assessed. Though Reggie and Tye are leading this they are also having all managers and coaches on the field working with the players, under Reggie's and Tye's direction. While the managers get to see how the players react to instruction and each other, Chollas Lake gets to see how the coaches and managers will teach and interact with the players. Chollas Lake gets to observe how well they follow the leagues direction in regards to teaching the fundamentals. Reggie and Tye spend an hour on Saturday afternoon with the coaches and managers. They discuss what to look for when assessing players. They talk with the managers and coaches about how to deal with unruly players and parents. And have discussions on how to keep practices fun and effective.
The second day (Sunday) of assessments, Chollas Lake scheduled a "Baseball Olympics". The Olympics are where some of the drills for teams and practice routines taught by the Wallers are worked on. The players will play the Olympics while the coaches help out. They will be assessing the player’s skills and abilities, while the players are having fun competing in the Olympics. Chollas Lake has run the Olympics before as part of several clinics and the players love them. The great thing is that there are games for all 5 skills. The players are having fun in a much less stressful environment not worried about being evaluated. The players are really excited about this opportunity to just have fun.
Chollas Lake ran their new style assessments for the first time this past weekend and they were extremely pleased with the outcome. As one board member put it, “I have never seen so many coaches and parents who at the clinic decided they wanted to help coach because of what they were seeing today. I must have had a dozen parents telling me how wonderful they thought of what we were doing. As well others came up to me after they completed their session and said what a great time they had".
Many thanks for the dedication of Ned Kern (President of Chollas Lake) for bringing this to Chollas Lake and to Tye and Reggie for their continuing support and to the Chollas Lake board for accepting change and of course the coaches and players who embraced the opportunity.
