League Volunteers Needed!  

“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.” -- Anonymous

Volunteers in sports can be enormously influential in the life of a child. If you ask a random group of adults to recall something of significance that happened in their fourth or fifth grade classroom, many will draw a blank. However, ask about a sports memory from their childhood and you’re likely to hear about a game winning hit, striking out a team's big hitter, or a special win over a rival team, that decades later, can still elicit emotion. To be able to make these memories happen we need volunteers.

Part of the philosophy of Little League International, is that leagues are to be managed by volunteers not paid professionals. Bay City Little League does follow our charter organization's lead and is a 100% volunteer organization. We can only be as strong as our volunteers and we are always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to help support our league. Anyone can apply to become a volunteer. Whatever talents or skills you have, we can use them!  Across the country, volunteers are grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, retirees, community leaders, former Little Leaguers, friends, neighbors, and more. Any community member who wishes to become a volunteer may apply.

All parents of children involved in Little League Baseball and Softball are strongly encouraged to volunteer. As a parent volunteer, you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your child in a safe, fun-filled environment. Oftentimes, parent and child social lives parallel each other. Volunteering allows your life and your child's life to intersect on common ground, with shared interests and goals.

We have opportunities that span from highly visible to completely behind the scenes, ones that require just a few hours to ones that involve a high level of commitment, ones that require a specific knowledge or skill to those that just involve a willingness to pitch in. We have many tools/resources/training to help those who may be interested in learning more. These opportunities can also be a great opportunities to earn volunteer hours for siblings.  If you can not volunteer at a league wide level, consider volunteering for a role in your child's team, for example an assistant coach, a Team Mom/Team Dad, a scorekeeper, or the Team Saftey Officer, your team manager will appreciate the help!
