As a reminder, the State of California requires Training and Certification for Managers/Coaches, Administrators and Sports Officials and must be completed before any engagement with players.  This includes All Managers, Coaches, Umpires and Board Members.  If you fall into one of these categories, you are required to produce the mandatory certificate for each protocol.  Please save and carry each of these training certificates for all your managers/coaches in your team binder.  Administrators and Sports Officials should carry a hard copy or electronic copy with them to game sites.

If you have any questions in regard to this required training, please ask your League President or contact Anita Figueroa, District Safety Officer.
