If you are registering a new YCLL player, you must still provide, in person, the player's proof of age and proof of residency. This is a Little League International requirement. Failure to provide these documents will prevent us from assigning a try-out time slot or placing the player on any team.

First,  the official little league definition:
The MANAGER is a person appointed by the league president to be responsible for the team's actions on the field , and to represent the team in communications with the umpire and the opposing team.
(a) The manager shall always be responsible for the team's conduct, observance of the official rules and deference to the umpires.
(b) If a manager leaves the field, that manager shall designate a coach as a substitute and such substitute shall have the duties, rights and responsibilities of the manager.

Now that we got the book answer out of the way. Here's the rest of the story.
The MANAGER:
...is the person in charge of the team.
...organizes and set the practice agenda.
...is the focal point for all communication with the team and parents.
...will "draft" the players on their team (N/A for Tee Ball)
...is responsible for the batting order and the fielding positions.
...selects their teams coaches and gives the coaching assignments.
...selects their Team Mom/Team Dad.
...attends the YCLL managers meetings.
...works with and for the divisions commissioner, to keep the league running smoothly.
... becomes a manager after being nomintated by the president and approved by the board of directors.
 ...is a volunteer just like everyone else in YCLL.

A COACH is a volunteer, normally a parent, who helps the manager teach the players the rules and skills to play baseball.  Every Little League team is allowed to have TWO "official" coaches rostered on the team.  That does not prevent additional parents from volunteering their time to assist the manager and coaches when needed. A volunteer becomes a Coach after being nomintated by the teams' Manager and approval by the board of directors
