Volunteer Hours

Volunteers are what keep our fields maintained and our tournaments running smoothly and successfully. Each family is required to contribute at least 4 hours of volunteer time each season in order to have their $150 volunteer fee (paid upon registration) refunded. Volunteer hours are NOT prorated.

Here are a few important things to note:

While we encourage families to volunteer together as a learning opportunity, minors do NOT count toward your 4-hour requirement. The 4 hours should be accounted for by parents/guardians/adults.
All minors helping in concessions must be accompanied by an adult.
Anyone under the age of 14 helping in our concessions area should NOT handle any money!
If you sign up for a field maintenance slot (dragging/chalking) during our tournaments, there will not be training available for these tasks so PLEASE only sign up for those timeslots if you know how to do them.
When signing up for volunteer time slots – Please pay close attention to the day, time, and the actual field location assigned to each sign-up opportunity. There are signup slots for many fields around town during the tournaments, so it is important you are present where you are signed up for.
All refunds will be issued by August 15th, 2023.
Volunteer hour discrepancies must be presented to the LYB Board no later than September 1st, 2023. LYB will not consider any discrepancies after September 1st, 2023.
Scorekeeping at league games does not count towards volunteer hours.
