Each year, a new group of parents joins the Moreland Little League family, as their children get set to begin their baseball journey, making new friends, and having fun along the way. And, just like players need a year or two of Tee Ball or Coach Pitch to learn the game, finding a way for parents to be introduced to volunteering is just as important. For those new Moreland Little League families, we encourage you to get involved in our league as soon as possible because it is important to start learning how our league operates at the very beginning of your Little League involvement. Being updated and in-the-know are keys in developing a positive Little League experience for you and your Little Leaguer.
Not sure if you are interested in volunteering?
Try out as a apprentice board member.
One of the reasons we encourage new parents to immediately get involved in Moreland little league is because often times, current Board members have kids ready to graduate from Moreland Little League. When Board members transition out, it’s helpful to have someone with experience ready to step in to make the change seamless. If you choose not to seek a Board position for the upcoming season, consider apprenticing a current Board member. Learn the ins-and-outs of his or her responsibilities, and volunteer your time to assist wherever needed. Before you know it, it may be your time to step up as a Board member, so learn now. It will make your future volunteering work that much easier.
The success of Moreland little league often depends on the number of devoted volunteers we have. And everyone in the Moreland Little League family, no matter how many years they’ve been a part of our league, should find a way to volunteer, especially new parents. Find the role that interests you the most and that you can commit to, and raise your hand. While you’ll find your volunteer work extremely worthwhile and gratifying, it is the Little Leaguers who will benefit the most.
