VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION PAGE
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Our organization is 100% run by volunteers. Our goal each season is to provide a fun and safe learning environment for all of our players. We have many ways to get involved with the league to make it the best experience for the kids in our community. In addition, your service will allow us to keep registration fees low while being able to provide the basic necessities to run the league. You do not need to have a player or relative in the league in order to volunteer. If you have a neighbor or know a high schooler that wants to give back to the community, please have them email: [email protected].
