Board & Coaches

CYF works best when families know how decisions are made, what coaches are responsible for, and how concerns should move through the program.

Board-managed decisions

Program structure, registration timing, sponsorship details, public sponsor display, and policy language are handled through the CYF board so families get consistent answers.

Coach preparation

Coaches are expected to teach fundamentals, prepare players before asking them to perform, communicate clearly, and make decisions in the best interest of the team and program.

Direct communication

CYF asks concerns to move directly to the coach or board member who can help. Safety concerns are immediate; other frustrations should get the 24-hour pause first.

Community standard

Players, families, coaches, volunteers, and sponsors all represent Chelan Youth Fastpitch. The expectation is effort, composure, class, and care for shared spaces.

What families can expect

The board keeps public information, registration, sponsor display, and program expectations consistent. Coaches lead the day-to-day player experience once teams or groups are built.

That split matters. It gives families a clear place to start and keeps coaches, board members, and volunteers from working from different playbooks.

Contact path

  • Safety concern: raise it immediately.
  • Team question: start with the coach.
  • Registration, payment, sponsor, or policy question: contact the board.
  • Non-safety frustration: pause 24 hours, then communicate directly.
