Congratulations to Coach Doug Hummer for being the 2017 recipient of the Jeff Hahn Coaching Award!

This award is given to a coach who is voted to receive the award by the parents of the HLL youth. It is to be awarded to a coach who demonstrates the core values and principles of our organization, which is to prepare youth in our community for the future, by teaching life lessons through baseball, as well as commitment, discipline, team respect, sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage, and respecting authority. These values were those that Jeff Hahn possessed and help to make our players stronger and more confident.

Doug is a coach who possesses all of these qualities. He is a great example of what this award represents. He serves HLL as a coach and board member, with a passion for the game and desire to instill the values of HLL.  Doug is always at the fields. He approaches the game in the right way. Doug teaches our kids the right way to play the game, holds them accountable and provides kindness and attention to each player. He also helps our players to build confidence and enthusiasm for the game.

Doug also coached the U9 All-Star team in 2016, leading them to a successful season with a third, second and first place finish in tournaments played.

Congratulations Doug! Thank you for your coaching excellence and ongoing commitment to HLL.
