How do I know if I live within Copper Hills Little League boundaries?
Please visit the League Finder website. League boundaries are based on the players home address or school address.
Does my player get a uniform?
Players receive a Shirt and Hat. Parent would need to purchase Pants, Socks, Belt, and Cleats (color for pants, socks, belt will be determined by the coach once team jersey color gets assigned).
Who Coaches my player?
Our league is ran 100% by parent/guardian volunteers and they do the best they can to support our players and teams. None of the volunteers are compensated financially. If you’re interested in helping teach fundamentals or supporting a team, we would love to have you volunteer. Extra help makes a big difference for the kids and the program.
Can I volunteer?
Yes! There are several positions available for parents/guardians to volunteer (Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Team Parent, Scorekeeper, Team Umpire).
Am I required to volunteer?
No, but we highly encourage parents/guardians to volunteer.
What do I need to do in order to volunteer?
Sign up to volunteer on our website. All coaches, Board of Directors members, umpires, concession stand workers, Team Parents, scorekeepers, and other volunteers who have regular service to the league or repetitive access to children must complete the background check process. If a volunteer is spending time in the dugout or helping out at practices, that individual must submit a volunteer application and go through the background check process. It’s important to remember that volunteer appointments are for one year only and that every year, all individuals volunteering at the local level must go through the background check process again. This is part of the Little League Child Protection Program.
Do I receive any training as a volunteer?
You can visit the Coaches Corner for helpful information regarding your volunteer position.
Do the teams keep score?
Tee Ball and Coach Pitch do not keep score. Minors and above do keep score and coaches are provided with a scorebook.
What days/times do the teams practice?
Practice dates and times for teams will be determined after registrations are complete.
What days/times are the games?
Game dates and times will determine the amount of teams are created.
My player is new to baseball, do you offer trial sessions?
