New! Rule Change

On August 6, 2006 the Canton Dizzy Dean Board of Directors voted to change the number of players a Manager may protect to 2 players with one exception:  Managers with a 2nd child in an age group will be required to select the sibling in the 2nd round of the draft.

If for any reason a manager does not have both protected players, the manager will pick the 2nd player after 1 complete round of the draft has been completed.

Manager & Coach responsibilities

  • Applications:  All Coaches will fill out and submit a Coaches Application and a Cherokee County Background Check.  These forms can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
  • Certification:  All Spring Managers and Coaches must be certified through the NYSCA (National Youth Sports Coach Association).  There will be 2 certification clinics held at Harmon Park before the season begins.  (New!  In addition to the Coaches Clinics we will host at Harmon Park you can now complete the Coaches Clinic online at the National Youth  Sports Coaches Association website.)   To become a member, coaches participate in an NYSCA interactive video training clinic, successfully complete an exam and sign a pledge committing them to uphold the NYSCA Code of Ethics. The membership fee is $20.  The dates for these clinics will be posted as soon as they become available.  Current NYSCA members can renew their memberships online at the NYSCA website.
  • Concession Duty:  Managers will be responsible for their teams working concession duties twice through the regular season. 4 people minimum are required for each entire session.   The Concession Duty Schedule will be posted on the Schedules page when it becomes available.  Failure to fulfill your concession duty will result in forfeiting your next game.
  • BBQ:  The BBQ is the biggest fund raiser used to fund Canton Dizzy Dean Baseball and depends on it for its continued operation.  Coaches are encouraged to sell all of their BBQ tickets if possible.  Coaches will also help with the cooking and cleaning up at Harmon Park the night before and the morning of the BBQ.
  • Work Days:  Just before the season begins the Managers and Coaches will get together at the ball parks for Coaches Work Days for maintenance and improvements to the parks.  The dates for these work days will be listed on the Schedules page.
  • Team Mom:  Managers will select a Team Mom.  A good Team Mom can go a long way in the organization of Concession Duties, BBQ ticket collections, Coke sales collections, Player uniform size selections, player number selections, team snack/drink duties, etc.
