Coaches Corner

Welcome, Coaches!


Thank you for stepping up to coach in our league! Volunteer coaches are the heartbeat of our program. Beyond teaching throwing mechanics or base running, you are building confidence, teaching resilience, framing positive sportsmanship, and creating memories your players will carry long after the season ends.


You do not need to be a former college player or a seasoned expert to make a massive impact. All it takes is patience, enthusiasm, and a commitment to keeping the game fun. Kids don't stay in sports because of perfect scorecards—they stay because they feel supported, valued, and excited to step onto the dirt each week. We are here to give you every tool, drill, and resource you need to succeed.




All prospective managers are required to fill out the WAGS Manager form and will be subject to an interview and background check. Please note, you will need to re-apply, re-interview and have a background check every year, even if you have coached with WAGS before. The WAGS Board of Directors selects Managers for the Spring recreational season in early January. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit the Manager application no later than December 31.


If you are interested in managing a team, please fill out the Manager application form and email to appropriate WAGS Division Director (click here for a list of all email addresses).
