Volunteer Hours

Team opportunities/Volunteer hours:

I just want to go over a couple of housekeeping items. As with any organization similar to Winter Springs Babe Ruth, the league's success rests heavily on the level of volunteerism we receive from parents throughout the season. At the time of registration, parents were given the opportunity to volunteer for 4 hours during the season or "bond out" by paying an additional $40. The league does this in an effort to keep costs down avoid increased registration fees needed to pay for maintaining equipment to keep the players safe, uniforms, balls, umpires, etc. In the past, many folks have submitted a Volunteer Form expressing their interest in volunteering for 4 hours, avoiding the extra fee, only to go through the season without being contacted to help out with various activities needing volunteers.

This year, the league is taking a different approach. The league has assigned the responsibility of identifying volunteers on a weekly basis to help run the concession stand. Jenny Klick is the VP of Volunteers and has been provided all of the Volunteer Forms and will be assigning each team with concession stand responsibilities for weekends throughout the season. Those of you that submitted this form can expect a phone call from here asking for your commitment during the weekends assigned to our team.

Managers if you haven't designated any of the following you may copy and past the following paragraph to help recruit these positions.

A team scorekeeper, a team Mom or Dad and assistant coaches. let me know if you would be interested in any of the positions mentioned above. The team Mom/Dad will have responsibilities that are credited as volunteer hours which include, but are not limited to: organizing and distributing the famous snack schedule for the season; organizing the end of season party to include confirming a location, planning the menu, collecting contributions from the team parents, identifying and ordering player trophies, etc. This position will take someone who is detail oriented and enjoys planning parties. If there are any parents interested in taking on this role, please let me know. In the event I receive multiple parents expressing interest, I'll assign the first parent that responds.

Managers please also let your parents know the following in which you may also copy and paste to them:

If you are not interested in these opportunities, volunteering at the park or being the Team Mom/Dad, there is still one more option. The league is open to receiving the $40 originally waived when you submitted the Volunteer Form. If you are interested in "bonding out" you can bring your check to practice this week payable to Winter Springs Youth Sports.
