Volunteering…

Tri-Cities Little League thrives on parents willing to put their time and effort into making this a great experience for the kids. Without you, Tri-Cities couldn’t survive. And it’s a great way to meet new people. You CAN make a difference. Here are a list of opportunities:

Manager or Coach

Being a manager or coach is a very rewarding experience! Whether you plan to manage or coach a team, help out at practices occasionally, or just want to know how to help your own child improve, Tri-Cities is committed to helping you learn to teach baseball skills. We sponsor periodic coaching clinics, including the highly-recommended Al & Al Clinic.

Umpire

We’ll be happy to train you! Learning to be an umpire is a great way to learn about the rules, and help out the league on an ad hoc basis. You’ll also learn first-hand why it’s so important never to yell at the umpires. (In fact, yelling at the umpire from the stands is strictly forbidden unless you are wearing an umpire’s uniform.)

Field Maintenance (every game and practice)

We are very lucky to have a beautiful venue where our children can play baseball. The fields look this good because of a lot of hard work before the season and regular maintenance during the season. Fields need to be set up before every game, and dragged and watered afterward. This is NOT the manager’s responsibility! It is a responsibility we all share, so please pitch in with dragging and watering the fields when asked, or better yet, ask how you can help out.

Snack Shack Duty

The snack shack is an important source of revenue for the league, and helps subsidize the equipment, uniforms, field maintenance supplies, etc. Every team is responsible for running the Snack Shack on their designated days (usually 2 or 3 days during the season). Please support the Snack Shack by volunteering when asked, and using the Snack Shack for on-site team events.

Team Parent

The team parent is the organizational link for his/her child’s team. This may include setting up your team’s schedules for after game snack, snack shack, field maintenance, scorekeeping and end of season party, etc.

Scorekeeping

Every team is responsible for keeping score when they are the “home” team. This would entail keeping track of time for the umpire, and recording every player’s “at bat” (ball/strike count, hits, walks, stolen bases, outs, etc). No experience necessary.

Scoreboard

The “home” team is also responsible for running the scoreboard during the game. This would entail keeping track of the ball/strike count, outs and runs scored for each team.
