Our most important volunteers are the ones who make baseball possible by running and coaching our youth baseball teams! When registration opens for a season, you can register yourself as a Volunteer for these roles.

Manager

The Manager is the team's head coach, responsible for running practices and managing the team during games. Player safety and development is a top concern. Managers determine player positions and lineup.

Assistant Coach

Each team needs 2 Assistant Coaches (1 for tee ball) that run drills during practice and will stand in for the Manager as needed. During games they may serve as 1st or 3rd base coaches. Assistant Coaches receive uniforms.

Team Parent

Each team needs a Team Parent to coordinate the things that happen off the field, such as picture day, fundraising, uniform distribution, team parties, etc. and communicate with everyone about league updates.

Practice Helpers

Parents who can't make a coaching commitment are invited to help during practices. This is an important way to support your team Manager and Coaches and help with player development. Practices run more efficiently when there are people to run the batting cage, chase down wayward balls and give encouragement. Games run more efficiently when someone helps batters get ready and manage the dugout, especially for our younger players who don’t yet understand the game.

Team Photographer

The designated photographer for each team is responsible for taking candid photos during games and providing images for the yearbook and social media.

EALL is run by an elected Board of Directors, each of whom serve a 2-year term. This is a great way for people who are not coaching to be directly involved, and for coaches to participate in league management decisions. Not all roles require being on the Board of Directors, and multiple positions may be held. Contact us for more information.

Sponsors

Register as a Volunteer

For Team Volunteers, when registration opens for a season, you will see an option to register yourself for these roles. Final assignments will be made when teams are formed. The best way to ensure that your child has an adequately staffed team is to volunteer yourself.
