Duties

Commissioner: shall effectively be the chief executive officer of the league, having general charge and supervision of the affairs of the league. The Commissioner’s primary responsibilities shall be to schedule the monthly board meetings, including the meeting location, prepare the board meeting agenda, and preside over each meeting by closely following Roberts Rules of Order. Motions are voted on by all board members, except the Commissioner, whose vote is only used as a tie-breaker. The Commissioner also oversees league administrative functions, including organization; long-range planning; equipment purchasing; budget and financial matters; web site contents; and publicity, marketing, corporate sponsorships and advertising efforts; field operations.

Director of Purchasing: shall be responsible for soliciting competitive bids on or before April 1st from at least three local and three national sporting goods suppliers of uniforms, softball equipment and other accessories, and necessary screen-printing services, not to exceed amounts authorized in the current annual budget. Purchase orders shall be awarded based on quality, price and on-time delivery prior to the start of league play. This position shall be responsible for personally receiving and inspecting all merchandise ordered to ensure each item is satisfactory and complies with the order, and subsequent delivery of items to team managers. This position shall also maintain a current computerized inventory of all available league equipment and apparel in storage or issued to each team.

Director of Finance: is responsible for all finances of the league, including establishing and maintaining all bank accounts of the Friday Morning League. He makes all deposits and disbursements from the bank accounts and assures all transfers from VENMO or Paypal to the bank account.

The Director of Finance also prepares an annual budget with recommended registration fees and estimated number of players (and thus the number of teams) for the subsequent year. Based on the number of teams, the operating expenses are estimated and the budget is presented to the Board for adoption. Revenues and expenses are then tracked throughout the year to comply with the budget.

Player registrations are processed through this position, either by mail or online, maintaining a current listing on the website of all players registered. The Director assures the collection of fees (either by cash, check, or VENMO) matching the registrations with the collections.

Director of Fields Operations: is responsible for reserving playing fields for the league’s games and communicating with the organization that owns the fields about field preparations for games and any issues with field conditions. The Director of Field Operations, with the Commissioner’s assistance, negotiates the cost of the playing fields as part of the reservation process.

The Director is also responsible for equipment, coordinating any repairs that are necessary for the league-owned on-premise equipment shed. He also gathers (and stores if necessary) game balls to be used throughout the season. Right now, many of the game balls are handed down from the night league (as slightly used).

The Director is responsible for presenting the dates of league events to the Board, and publishing a schedule of those events on the league website after the board approves them.

Once the number of teams is known for each season, the season game schedule will be generated by website support personnel for board approval. Once approved, the Director coordinates its uploading to our league website. He also prints said schedule to be displayed at the fields.

Director of Rules and Umpires: oversees and maintains the Rules and Guidelines of the league and the management of umpires designated for each FML season.

Primary responsibilities related to the Rules and Guidelines are to ensure the currency and enforcement of all rules pertinent to league play as designated by the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) rulebook for senior play and, most importantly, the supplemental rules authorized by our Friday Morning League. The Director ensures any proposals or requests for new or modified rules are presented to the Board for approval prior to implementation. This position is responsible for up-to-date maintenance of the Rules and Guidelines as posted on the FML website and other printed documentation.

The Director should be versed in the rules and guidelines of the league and be the primary point-of-contact for disputes requiring immediate resolution.

In addition, the Director of Rules and Umpires ensures the proper recruitment, training, scheduling, evaluation, and termination of all league volunteer umpires prior to their assignment to any regular or post-season games. The Director’s objective is to ensure each umpire is knowledgeable of the rules established for FML and enforces these rules in a fair and equitable manner.

Director of Communication: responsible for providing timely and relevant communications, primarily via text (to the managers) or emails (to all players) and through postings on the ‘Upcoming Events’ section of the website. These communications should contain information that includes (but is not limited to): game cancellations due to weather, meetings, events, announcements, and other league worthy topics.

The Director is responsible for compiling and posting minutes for each board meeting.

In addition, the Director is the primary point of contact within the league concerning any complaints or suggestions. He will present worthy topics to the board for their determination of necessary action(s).

Website Support: We are currently using Zach McIntyre as our website creator and administrator. The Director of Communications works with him for supporting documents posted on the FML web. Once we know the number of teams we can support, Zach will generate a league schedule to be reviewed by the board. Once accepted, the schedule will be posted on the web.

All board members should have access as limited administrators to post or edit game scores listed on the website throughout the season.
