ADULT GAME COORDINATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
The following applies to San Rafael Little League games in the Minors, Majors, and Juniors divisions. Per Little League rule 9.03(d), there must be an "Adult Game Coordinator" present and in close proximity to the field for every Little League game. They must remain there for the duration and be in a position to see all actions on the field.
If there is an adult umpire assigned and present at a game, the requirement is met. However, if there are only junior umpires (younger than 18) assigned to a game, then the Visiting team is required to provide an Adult Game Coordinator. If the Visiting team cannot provide an Adult Game Coordinator, then the Home team should provide one, otherwise the game cannot begin or continue.
The volunteer duties and requirements of an Adult Game Coordinator consist of the following:
Must be an adult (18+ years of age).
Team managers and coaches are not permitted to serve as Adult Game Coordinator and may only be serving as an Adult Game Coordinator for one (1) game at a time.
Must attend/facilitate the pregame plate meeting with the managers and Junior umpires.
Must remain at the game at all times in a position to see all actions on and in close proximity to the field.
Must find a replacement or suspend the game if they cannot be present.
Oversees the conduct of all players, managers, coaches and umpires.
While they are authorized to eject managers, coaches, players, they should consult with the umpires and team manager as appropriate before taking action against a coach, participant or spectator who is acting inappropriately. If needed they should reach out to the Umpire Coordinator, Division Commissioner, or League President.
Must monitor and help enforce weather delays and cancellations, noting that the field must be cleared for 30 minutes following a sighting of lightning or the sound of thunder.
