Clinic Requirements for the 2012 District TOC
Handout: 2012 TOC Qualified Coaches List
I would like to address the clinic requirements for this year's District TOC. Since every league has submitted an approved safety plan to Little League and a required element of that safety plan is the attendance of clinics each team will need to meet that requirement in order to participate in TOC. The requirement is that all coaches and managers in our District are required to attend both a Coaches and Emergency Management clinic every three years in order to participate in the District TOC. One manager and/or coach per team must attend two required clinics for the current year. The first clinic is one that teaches skills such as the Big Al Clinic and the Waller Clinic for the big diamond. The second clinic is a safety clinic such as the Emergency Management Clinic that was conducted between the morning and afternoon sessions at the Big Al Clinic. At least once every three years coaches/managers are required to attend these clinics. In other words on a coaching staff of three, each individual will have had to attend each clinic in the last three years. And each of the two clinics will have had to be attended by a coach or manager for this current year.
Example 1 - A coaching staff made up of Manager Bob and Coaches Pete and Mike. If Bob attended both clinics two years ago (2010) and Pete and Mike attended both clinics this year (2012) they are good.
Example 2 - A coaching staff of Manager Tim and Coaches John and Sam. If Tim attended a coach's clinic in (2010) and a safety clinic (2011), and John attended both clinics in (2011) and Sam attended a coach's clinic in (2012) and a safety clinic in (2011). This staff would not qualify due to the fact they have no one who has attended a safety clinic in the current year.
Example 3 - A coaching staff of Manager Alan and Coaches Stu and Mary. If Alan attended both the coaching and safety clinics this year (2012) and Stu attended the coaching clinic in (2011) and Mary attended both clinics in (2012) this coaching staff would not qualify due to the fact that Stu has not attended a safety clinic.
Every coach and manager must have attended both clinics in the last three years and each of the clinics must have been attended this year either by the same individual or by separate individual. Steve Taylor has compiled a list of all the attendees from the District approved events for this year and has added them to our master list. Our list now includes 2010, 2011 and 2012; Please check 2012 TOC Qualifed Coaches List for your name. We will be checking each team against this list. If you cannot prove that your coaches fulfilled these requirements, your team will be disqualified at their first game of TOC. The players should not be punished and if the manager and coaches are not qualified the whole staff can be replaced by a staff that does qualify. If you feel there is an error, please contact me before you get to the field. If you have any other questions on these requirements, please email me at llcad33@yahoo.com

District 33 hosted the first annual Junior Spring Baseball Tournament, April 20th thru April 22nd 2012. We had 8 Junior Division teams playing in this tournament from Murphy Canyon, North Park, Patriots, Tierrasanta and Serra Mesa. We owe many thanks to the great volunteers at Murphy Canyon for hosting the majority of the tournament games. What a great job Shannon and his group did to pull this off. They were there for many hours all three days. Also, thanks to Serra Mesa and the Patriots for hosting games to make this tournament possible.
We also had a great group of umpires doing the games and once again they did an excellent job. Congratulations to the Patriot League Rays for winning the tournament.

On a sunny Saturday morning, Mr. Bob Bouchard headed out to Chollas Lake Little League, not to umpire but to be recognized as someone who has volunteer his time to the kids of little league baseball for over 50 years. Instead of being behind the plate, making calls and trying to stay out of the lime light, Bob was the center of attention during the opening ceremonies at Chollas Lake Little League on March 3rd 2012.
Brent Forrest, on behalf of District 33 presented Mr. Bob Bouchard the coveted "Plate Brush" award. Bob was honored by Marti Emerald and the San Diego City Council for his 50+ years as a volunteer umpire at Redwood Village and Chollas Lake Little Leagues. March 3rd, 2012 was officially proclaimed by the City of San Diego as "Bob Bouchard Day".
There were many district umpires and representatives there to celebrate Bob's day, and to share in honoring Bob as a long time volunteer, mentor, and friend. There are several umpires that started at Chollas Lake, who have umpired at the World Series, who were influenced early in their careers by Bob's teaching and style.

President of Chollas Lake Little League
