COACH SELECTION PROCESS
 
Tempe South uses several factors in selecting its coaches. TSLL determines the coaching staff in mid-January for Majors (11-12) and Minors (9-11),  The AAA (8-9), AA (6-7) and T-Ball (4-6) coaches are determined in February.
  • TSLL collects all of the names of potential candidates in December & January
  • Candidates’ coaching background, experience, time with the League, references, etc. are reviewed
  • TSLL prefers that the coaches are parents of the players or adults who have had experience with the League over the years.
  • TSLL prefers coaches "grow" through the League (beginning with T-Ball, AA and AAA and then advancing to Minors and Majors) so that the coaches are familiar with the "culture" and "spirit" of the League.
  • The League does background checks on all coaches
  • As a note:  Many times there are more candidates than there are teams available 
  • As a note:  It is preferred that the head coaches for the Minors and Majors be individuals who have coached within the organization in the past for 2-3 years
  • The President determines the head coaches for all levels and the Board approves the selections
  • Coaching candidates are asked to provide the following
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Players registered in the League
  • Past experience with coaching baseball 
  • Other coaching experiences
  • Level of coaching requested
  • References, preferably from individuals associated with Tempe South Little League

2026 SHOWCASE TRYOUT

The Showcase is a demonstration of baseball skills for the purpose of placing your child on a team. The Showcase does not eliminate your child from the League.  On the Showcase dates, each hour players will catch fly balls, field ground balls, hit and pitch. The League's managers will evaluate the players' skills for the purpose of selecting competitively balanced teams.  Participation in the Showcase is REQUIRED for all Major and Minor players. Please sign-up for a Showcase time.
 
Junior Players -- There is no Showcase.
In February, all Junior players will get together for a series of practices. Soon after the Middle Schools select their teams (and some of those players opt to play for TSLL), the TSLL coaches will select teams that are balanced and competitive. All Junior players should wait until they are contacted by the League for dates and times of the practices.
 
Please select one Showcase slot for each player on the day and time that best works for you. There is no additional fee for the Showcase.

The Showcase will be held on Willie Bloomquist field at Tempe Sports Complex.
