Middletown Little League

MEET THE BOARD

Rohan Manning, President and Treasurer

I’m the proud dad of two boys (ages 13 and 11), who started playing in Middletown Little League as Tee-ballers. I've coached baseball for nine years and served on the Board as Treasurer and VP of Baseball. I’ve also been the league’s liaison with District 9 and have coached All-Star baseball for the last four years. Originally from Jamaica, I grew up playing baseball in the Bronx and am a passionate NY Mets fan!  If you see me at any events, please come introduce yourself — I’d love to meet all of our Little League families!

I’m Rohan’s wife and the mom of our two boys. A proud Middletown native, I played Tee-ball through Majors Softball here and am a lifelong NY Yankees fan. I’ve been the Director of Sponsorship for six years. Our league thrives thanks to our generous sponsors, and if you’re interested in becoming one or have fundraising ideas, please reach out to me at [email protected].

I’m the parent of 10-year-old twins who’ve been in Middletown Little League since 2020. I coach both baseball and softball and have served on the Board since 2021.

Originally from New Jersey, I’m a Middletown transplant, but I've truly enjoyed being part of the Middletown sports community and the warm, family-friendly atmosphere it offers. I’m looking forward to a fantastic 2026 season!

Jack Jones Challenger Division Director

I am beginning my eighth year as the Director of Challenger Baseball. This has been a total family experience for us with my wife helping as a coach along with one son playing and the other helping as a buddy. I’ve worked in college athletics for nearly 40 years so I spend a lot of time with coaches and student-athletes. Our goal is the same every year – to provide an inclusive baseball experience that not only teaches the game but also provides an opportunity for our players to make friends and be part of a team. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to volunteer as a buddy or know someone who would like to join us for the upcoming season.  Contact me at [email protected]
