ONLINE TRAINING

  To help ensure that we have the best possible managers and coaches here at NLL we would like all managers and coaches to complete these online training courses. This will also hopefully help ensure consistent coaching of the basic fundamentals no matter what level the kids are playing at. We do not have time to have an all-day seminar as we had planned, so we have come up with this.  Let’s get started.

Go to:    https://www.littleleague.org/diamondleader/ 

Once at the web page click on “Register” on the upper right corner of the page and fill in the registration information.  Then go to the “Education” tab.  Click on “Courses” and browse for course to take, then click on the course and add it to your bag.  Once the course is added to your dashboard click on the play button to start the course. When the course is completed you will receive a certificate that can be saved and printed to show the course was completed. You will need to email a copy of that Certificate to:  NLL.Safety.Officer@norcolittleleague.com
