2026 Spring Coach/Team Interest Survey

Please complete this survey if you plan to head coach a Spring 2026 team.

Completion ensures your families can request your team easily during the registration process. If you are coaching more than 1 team, you must complete this survey separately for all teams!

1.) IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT EXPECTED ROSTERS ARE PROVIDED TO ME, IF YOU ARE EXPECTING RETURNERS!

2.) Pool Players WILL be added to all teams who's roster is not complete. Pool Players will be placed PRIOR to any late registering returners, so encourage your players to register ON TIME. A full roster is 12-13 players depending on age division. If your team does not meet the requirements for a full team additional players can/will be added to the roster. This includes Majors teams. NKB is a league and if we have young players looking for roster placement and your team is not "full" by league standards we will place players for your league games. The goal of NKB is to have kids playing the game of baseball.

3.) There will be NO GROUP PAYMENTS. All players must register at the time of registration! As the league has grown, we have done away with group payment as an option.

4.) Please remind your expected returners to register early! Registration can and will close early if we reach capacity numbers.

5.) 7U and above teams who are electing to provide their own team uniforms. Please remind your families that they will need to make sure to use the correct registration that states "Team Supplied Uniforms". If any parents accidentally register under league providing uniforms, they will be refunded the price difference but typically those refunds are issued at the end of registration.

This survey is ONLY to be able to create teams for registration, another survey regarding practice fields, times, availability, etc, will be going out at a different date once we have additional information available regarding the season.

For Spring 2026 Coaches will have additional influence on their schedule creation through a scheduling meeting. Once that scheduling meeting is set, information will go out and it is mandatory that a head coach or assistant coach attend on behalf of the roster.
