Below is a summary of our events for the 2020 season.  Pass these on to your families and friends as we approach the new year!

Welcome to the 2020 TELL season.  As we begin preparation for next year, we want to communicate our updated volunteer program that is designed to communicate the numerous ways that you can contribute to the continued success of our league.  As you may know, TELL is a non-profit organization that relies on our dedicated volunteers to keep our league going strong.  It takes a diverse group of individuals with a diverse set of skills to help maximize the impact we have on our kids. 

As we do each year during registration, we will be asking you to inform the league of where you can commit your time for the categories listed below. 

Volunteer Commitment:

For this season, we are implementing a credit system that will bring focus to key areas of need. A total of six (6) credits per player will satisfy the volunteer commitment.  Credits are based on the approximate time commitment for each of the associated responsibilities.  Below is the list of duties and their associated credits:

Board Member – 6 credits

Team Manager – 6 credits

Team Parent – 6 credits

Team coach – 6 credits

Umpire – 3 credits (Single A thru Majors)

Snack Shack – 3 credits

Scorekeeper – 1 credit (Single A thru Majors)

There will be opportunities throughout the season to earn volunteer hours for working special events and field days.  Some of the fun things we do that require help are  Opening day, Grandparents day, Pancake breakfast, Closing ceremonies and field days prior to the season starting and during the season. 

If your schedule does not permit, you may choose the option of a $250 tax deductible donation to the league, per player, to cover the six credits.  The donation for a family with more than one player is $350.

Our board members will be working with managers and coaches to ensure that the volunteer work is spread as equally as possible between all our families.

An important reminder is all volunteers must complete a volunteer application each year to be used for a background search.

Deadline:

Volunteer obligations must be scheduled by April 15th for scheduling purposes. 

Thank you very much for taking the time to volunteer.  Your involvement in the league is so important to our growth and success.

We look forward to seeing you all soon at our fields.
