1. Attend any and all managers and coaches meetings scheduled by KNLL and the District.
2. Learn, teach, and follow all LLOR, District Rules, and KNLL Local Rules.
3. Learn, teach, and follow the KNLL Safety Plan (ASAP).
4. Communicate all practice and game times, schedule changes, rainouts, and any other relevant information to all team players and their families.
5. Ensure all parent(s) or guardian(s) of players sign the Medical Release and Code of Conduct forms and save these in the team binder. Carry the binder to every game and practice.
6. Ensure their equipment bag contains one (1) First Aid kit and at least two (2) ice packs for every game and practice. If additional supplies are needed, contact the Equipment Manager (equipment@kirklandNational.com).
7. Report all injuries to the Safety Officer. For more information, see Safety Program.

17. Ensure all spectators remain at least ten (10) feet from the dugout.

KNLL reserves the right to bill a manager for missing or damaged equipment or any equipment not returned on time.
19. Enforce the rules under Code of Conduct.

Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may result in removal as manager or coach or affect eligibility for manager or coach in future seasons.
