MANAGER OF DISTINCTION

Our team managers are the most vital part of Empire Softball. We are well aware that managing an adult softball team becomes a part-time job, that is sorely underappreciated. Building a team, figuring out who is coming and who isn't, having to collect money and pay on time - managing a roster and trying to keep people happy when some games they have 8 players, sometimes 14 and half the team wants to play first base. We appreciate all of our team managers more than words can express and value all the work they put in all year long. This award is our way of acknowledging team managers who have been loyal to Empire Softball each and every year - and are committed to maintaining a team with a small, unchanging roster, that follow all of the ideals of what we think a great softball team should be. They may not win as many championships as other teams - but their commitment to the league and what we vision it to be is deserving of recognition. 
In celebration of Empire turning 5 years old this year - this is the first time we will be giving this award - and have nominated the qualifying managers that have been with us from the beginning and all the way thru this ride with us!
