posted 01/13/2010 Imagine a Little League experience for the children with confusing try-outs, few coaches, no uniforms, unsafe fields, umpires who show up late and no score keepers – this is what it would be like with no volunteers.
None of these positions are too hard and training is available. To keep our program of 800+ children running, your help is necessary. The jobs can be fun if you make them, you’ll get to meet families in the community, and you’ll set a good example for our children by showing the importance of community service and volunteering.
The average commitment for volunteer jobs, other than board positions, managers and coaching--which is far more significant--is 10 + hours per season; more for certain jobs. Given that most children in our league will be at the fields for an average of 100 hours, it should not be difficult to understand the amount of work necessary.
The reward for all volunteers is not only helping to build a better community based program, but watching the children enjoy the experience of participating in a first rate program.
Please consider the following volunteer opportunities. We have over 125 volunteer positions for you to choose from. As little as 10 hours a season can make a big difference to the Little League program.
