Coach FAQ
Save-The-Date / Wait-list
Save-The-Date (STD):
By following a “Save-The-Date” (STD) button, you are submitting your information for later contact regarding a Slugger Series event. Please note, a “Save-The-Date” submission IS NOT a guarantee of entry to a particular Slugger Series event. A submission is merely a means of contact for parties interested in a particular event.
Wait-list:
A given waitlist exists for divisions that have already been filled. By submitting to a waitlist for a particular event, you are agreeing to communication IF and possibly WHEN an event has an opening for a specific age division. Teams may drop for any reason, at any time. Therefore, teams are submitting their information on a given list with the understanding that a spot will take time to open up, if at all. Teams can be contacted on very short notice, based on the drop situation of an already existing team. We typically burn through our waitlist(s) pretty quickly to get a team placed in a given event. Most teams that we contact have either made prior arrangements for play, or forgot they put their team on our waitlist altogether. You can always join a waitlist free of charge.

*Outsourced event hosts (Partners) may have different cancellation policies.
Coaches Check-In
Check-In Location(s):
Coaches Check-In location will vary depending on event host. Traditionally, our Coaches Check-In is located inside our Slugger Dome lobby. However, some of our event hosts (partners) have conducted Coaches Check-In at different gate locations.

Copy of Official On-Line Roster with Parent Signatures
Copy Of Insurance Certificate

Coaches will receive only three (3) wristbands upon check-in. These wristbands MUST be worn on the WRIST (no exceptions). They will allow passage through our gates, and access to our dugouts. Additional coaches are considered spectators, and may purchase a spectator band at the appropriate event rate.
Team Insurance
Any valid Team Insurance is accepted at LSSC events (depending on affiliation).
Official Rosters
Online rosters are considered to be the Official Rosters for a designated event.
Event Schedules
Who creates my schedule?
Schedules are developed by the event organizer, and distributed by that entity as well.
What factors go into my schedule?
Schedules are developed with distance, wait time, playing conditions, conjunctive events, and a variety of other factors considered.
When is my schedule available?
Schedules are typically released one week prior to the start of play. Different event organizers may have different release times.
Is my schedule set-in-stone?
Not necessarily. Schedules are always subject to change. This is due to a number of different factors. Schedules have, and will always be changed as is necessary. However, specific schedule requests are not always doable. Please keep this in mind when viewing event formats, and registering your team.
Event Communication
All IMPORTANT event communication is distributed to coaches, by the event organizer. Upon receiving communication, coaches should look to distribute information to parents as is needed. It is not the event organizer’s responsibility relay information to parents (i.e. schedule changes, weather delays, etc).
Weather Complications
Weather Delay (15 Minutes):
Standard weather delays last 15 minutes, and all guests may remain where they are at the LSSC. Depending on the severity of weather, these delays may be compounding.
Lightning Delay (30 Minutes):
Lightning weather delays last 30 minutes, and restart after every observed strike within the vicinity of play. All those located at playing locations are asked to return to their vehicles, and await further information from appropriate event directories. Depending on the severity of weather, these delays may be compounding.
Weather Cancellations:
Cancellations, due to weather, are at the discretion of the event organizer with consideration. Cancellations of this variety are non-negotiable, and performed as a last resort. Event format(s) and game guarantee(s) are almost always effected (as is typical in the industry) in order to adequately service what remains of the event, if any at all. We always look to play, provided the safety of those at the LSSC.
