Volunteers Run Bennett's Creek Little League
Bennett's Creek Little League is an ALL volunteer organization. We rely solely on a devoted legion of adult volunteers to help ensure that the organization remains structured and runs smoothly. We are always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support and coordinate Little League, through its administration, events and activities. In order to have a successful season, all parents of children involved in Bennett's Creek Little League Baseball and Softball need to volunteer. In addition to the key volunteer positions below, every parent will need to assist with field set-up before and clean-up after each practice and game. Our Managers and coaches devote an extraordinary amount of time to teaching and developing our players. At a minimum, we parents must return the favor by covering the field duties so that the fields remain safe and in the best playing condition possible.
Volunteer Position Descriptions:
Team Manager/Coach
Being a manager or coach requires time, patience, and basic knowledge of the game of baseball/softball. Each team has a manager and up to two rostered coaches. Team managers and coaches will also be required to attend off season meetings and instructional sessions, including Rules and Safety Clinics and Coaching Clinics. Team managers and coaches, in conjunction with the league communication notices, will communicate with the parents/guardians of your players to inform them of any schedule changes, rainouts, and Little League events and activities. As a manager or coach, you have more interaction with young people than anyone else in Little League. Therefore, it is important that you understand the goals and virtues of the Little League program in order to effectively communicate them to your players.
Scorekeeper
Every team needs capable scorekeepers to record each game accurately. The team manager will rely heavily upon the scorekeeper to record each game properly because the team manager is responsible for providing the team’s player statistics to the league. Each team needs more than one scorekeeper to ensure that there is at least one present at the start of and during every game. If you plan to attend almost every game, know how (or are willing to learn) how to record a game, please volunteer to be a team scorekeeper.
Team Mom/Dad
Supports team manager with various tasks off the field including the dissemination of league information planning non-baseball events (e.g., end of season get-together).
Board Member
Bennett's Creek Little League's Board of Directors, elected from and by the regular members of the league, is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the league within the rules, regulations and policies of Little League. The board does not have the authority to alter, suspend or change any of the rules, regulations or policies of Little League. To receive credit as a volunteer as a Board Member you must already be officially voted in and be acting as a Board Member.
