Parent Participation

Many responsibilities exist beyond the normal team level commitments that make Capitol Little League function smoothly. Parents are what make the program a quality experience for all our children. Capitol Little League can only be as good as we, the parents, make it. Following are some important volunteer areas that are required during the season.

• Concessions
• Field Preparation and Maintenance
• Fundraising
• Game Scorekeeping
• Volunteer Umpiring Help

Parent Support

Parent support during both games and practices is critically important to the success of the league. Be supportive of the team by ensuring your child attends each practice on-time. Be a positive role model during games, whether you are a manager, an assistant coach or simply a spectator. Finally, please keep the following in mind:

• Always be positive and enthusiastic
• Show your child positive reinforcement
• Observe practices and games to learn proper techniques to practice with your child
• Encourage your child toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game
• Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than a victory
• Applaud good plays by your team and by members of the opposing team
• Let the managers and coaches do the coaching
• Let an umpire be the umpire

Parent Concerns

If you have concerns about anything regarding your team or the league, first talk to your manager. If your concern is not resolved, then contact your Division VP or other appropriate board member listed on the Board Members page.
