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 400+ 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 study these positions and be prepared with multiple choices at the in-person sign up during registration. Board Members and experienced volunteers will be available during the in-person verification/sign-up to answer questions about volunteer jobs. Once your job is assigned, ONLY THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR CAN APPROVE A JOB CHANGE. This allows us to keep our database updated and ensure that all functions of Hastings Little League are adequately manned.
