Diamond Leader Training

Little League Diamond Leader

 As we gear up for an exciting 2023 season, we wanted to share with you a great opportunity available for all the coaches within your league.

The Little League® Diamond Leader Program, a new initiative focused on educating volunteer coaches on their role supporting the social and emotional well-being of children, is officially available for your coaches to complete for the 2023 season and beyond!

Starting with the 2023 season, completion of the Little League Diamond Leader Program will be required for any coach and/or manager to be eligible to participate at any level of the Little League International Tournament. Upon completion of the program, we strongly encourage volunteers to share their completion certificate with their League President.

Focused on ensuring children have a positive, well-rounded experience on and off the field, the Little League Diamond Leader Training Program is a FREE educational resource that provides coaches with an understanding of the impact that mental, social, and emotional well-being has in youth sports through detailed information, interactive scenarios, and a variety of additional resources.

Through this course, which navigates Little League volunteers through real-life scenarios that are being faced in local leagues all around the world each year, coaches are provided a better understanding of the impact they have on their players, both on and off the field. While designed specifically for coaches, we strongly encourage all league and district officials to also complete the course to ensure the best possible experience for our players.

NOTE: It is the League President's responsibility to ensure all tournament coaches have completed the program in order to confirm their eligibility for the tournament season. To support this, League Presidents will be able to track coaches from their league who completed the course via a report available in the Little League Data Center.

TIP: The best way to encourage your coaches to take the Little League Diamond Leader program is to participate in the program yourself to ensure you know first-hand the benefits that can be learned from its completion.
