Volunteer for 2023 / 2024

Parents, we are always looking for volunteers to help the teams / players in our league.  Remember, let your team Manager know if you are interested in volunteering.  They will point you in the right direction and assist you in getting the proper credentials and insurance.

Coaches & Managers

One of the essential functions of coaches and team managers is to manage team communications with players and their families.  If you are a coach or team manager, SportsEngine has created a Team Management Guide for Coaches and Team Managers to help you use our website and mobile app to efficiently and effectively communicate and manage your teams. 

Managers, use the forms below to start creating your team and adding your players.  Remember, each Division has a VP available to assist you.  The list of the Division VP's is located under the "CONNECT" tab and then by selecting the Board Members menu item.

RULES OF THE GAME

Managers, please email your Division Rep for the most current copy of the IGSL Rules of the Game for your Division.   ALL IGSL GAMES will follow the ASA/USA Rules regarding, tiebreakers, drop 3rd strike, pitching, and the look back rule.

Sportsmanship also plays a major role in youth sports.  We all know girls love to cheer.  Even though this is an exiting game, please keep all cheers positive.  Please refrain from heckling the other team.  No taunting will be tolerated, including coaches and parents.  Managers and Coaching staff are responsible for the parents and team spectators for being positive to the opposing team.  If the umpire or a current IGSL board member has to ask fans to leave, they shall be escorted from the park and the Team Manager may face disciplinary action.

Register USA Softball

Below is the link to the Register USA site.  Here Team Managers will create their team, add coaches, volunteers and players to your team.  This is also the site in which ALL team volunteers must obtain background checks and complete the new SafeSport training.   Team volunteers WILL NOT be allowed in dugouts or on the fields without the proper verified background credentials and SafeSport Verification of Completion.  This site is also the location for all team members and players to obtain the required USA Insurance.

Managers, if you have any questions regarding the USA Softball Insurance and team requirements, please notify your Division Rep immediately.
