The primary responsibility of the Player Agent is to be the first tier of guidance and facilitation as it concerns the players within the league.
The Player Agent is to represent the needs and concerns of the league’s players (and to some extent families) to ensure that the needs of our players are equally represented when issues arise. The Player Agent plays a key role in the balance of the league. The PA should work to balance the needs of families (Suzie wants to play with Sally) and the needs of the league (competitive balance, draft rules, etc.). The PA is the key to a healthy balance of fun and competition and critical to KYSLL’s ability to remain consistent with the aims of Little League Softball and our league’s mission.
NOTE: The player agent must not manage, coach or umpire, unless the local league has received explicit written permission to allow this from Little League Baseball International Headquarters.
