• Umpire 3 games

Team Related Volunteer Responsibilities:
Our league has many opportunities for you to help out. It is important to note that signing-on for these positions does not count as your volunteer commitment and allow your check to be returned. No one is exempt from the volunteer commitment, even the President of the League!

• Team Coach - Assist the Team Manager with practice, etc.
