Check out the different volunteer roles we offer:

Scorekeeper/Announcer

Working in pairs of 2 at each field, you will help to keep the official score using the provided scorebook and announce players as they come up to bat.

Field Monitor

As teams arrive, help carry bat and helmet bags to the correct fields. During games, monitor play, water, team arrivals, and keep your field on schedule. Report no-shows, volunteer gaps, or supply needs to the competition director—and don’t forget to cheer on the athletes!

Lunch Assistants

Work under the tent at the main entrance to set up and pass out lunches to all coaches and athletes. Assist in any cleaning up that might be needed when lunch is over.

Softball Skills

Softball Skills Volunteers will assist with running and scoring stations (base running, throwing, fielding, hitting), help judge DQs, and cheer on athletes.
Awards Volunteers will set up the awards area, cheer during competition, then organize athletes, announce names, and present medals.
