Our Managers (head coaches) and Coaches (assistants) are the backbone of SMLLA. We simply couldn't do it without you. THANK YOU!

Each Year, SMLLA applies, pays for, and receives field permits from the Department of Parks and Recreation at the City of San Mateo. We have a city issued permit for each and every baseball field that our teams use to Practice and play Games. Maps, directions, and field status can be found on the Our Fields page.
Some unpermitted groups attempt to use our fields. Sometimes, they are baseball teams with coaches from organizations that do get field allocations. Sometimes they are groups from other sports (soccer, cricket, rugby, etc).
If a group is infringing upon our permitted fields during your scheduled practice or game, and they refuse to move when asked politely, please call the San Mateo Park Rangers immediately. The Park Rangers number is 650.787.9153. The Rangers have access to all of our permits and will relocate the other group.
Additionally, please do not schedule your team to drop-in on a field without a permit. This could negatively affect our ability to get future field permit allocations from the City. You may trade with another SMLLA Team Manager for an SMLLA permitted field slot, but please do not use other fields without a permit.
Managers (or their coaches) are responsible to complete FIVE two-hour Field Supervisor shifts per team (from Single A to Majors) over the course of the season. SMLLA uses a system called "DIBS" to staff these shifts. Please claim your shifts and enjoy watching other games out at Trinta.

Remember to post your scores and pitch counts as soon as possible post-game! Instructions They are due by noon the day following your game.
Rosters and Schedules for Spring 2022 have been posted on the website. Please review and let us know if anything is amiss. Managers may add jersey numbers to their team's roster. Instructions

Managers are required to carry their team's Little League medical forms with you to all practices and games, in case of injury. If you don't have them, please contact your division's commissioner. If you need to miss a practice, please give them to an assistant coach.
