Little League coaches sought for the upcoming season

Douglas Little League President Bruce Whetten has announced he is now accepting applications for anyone interested in coaching in the Douglas Little League this year.

Volunteer applications can be picked up from him at Backdrop Photo, 1009 G. Ave. between the hours of 10-5 Monday through Friday.

Whetten says due to national Little League rules anyone involved with any of the youth this year must be cleared through a national background check that is done by a company working with the DLL.

The screening process is more stringent this year Whetten says and last minute candidates could be turned away.

Anyone with questions may call 364-2460.
