Every WBLL team is responsible for at least one 2-hour shift over the course of the season. It's fun...it's easy...and a great way to meet other WBLL parents. Click here to sign up for you Concessions Shift!

We are incredibly proud that we are a 100% volunteer run organization. To that end...no volunteers = no concessions!

This is where we ask for your participation.
1. Where is the WBLL concession stand? The WLL concession stand is located at the WBLL Campus right between fields M1 and M2. You can find the field address and a map of our facilities here.
2. How long is my shift? The shifts last no more than 2 hours. The time flies when you are busy. If you are not too busy, then we ask volunteers to help with restocking where necessary.
3. Who can work my shift? You can, your spouse, a grandparent, an (older) teenage child 16 years or older. Younger children can assist but an adult must be present.
4. What happens if my shift is cancelled due to weather? While we will not require you to sign up for another shift if yours is cancelled due to weather, it would be AWESOME if you can help to fill any vacancies on future game days. Once again, no volunteers = no
concessions.
5. What happens if I have to cancel last minute? We understand that emergencies happen. The more notice we have of a shift opening, the better. If you find that you cannot make your shift last minute, PLEASE try to find someone to fill in for you. If you
can't find someone, reach out to your team manager to work some magic. If we don't have a minimum of 2 volunteers per shift, we will have to close the concession stand.

THANK YOU again for all of your help! If you have any questions, please reach out to the concession stand managers Jeff Rohrbach (713-320-9834) and/or Austin Carden (713-319-4174).

OPENING THE CONCESSION STAND:
A WBLL Board member will be responsible for “opening” the concession stand so all you have to do is show up 15 minutes before your shift so you can complete the following responsibilities:
