Why Should I Become a Volunteer?

Little League Baseball is an organization designed to build good citizens. It is a program of leadership, preparing today's youth to be tomorrow's leaders. At the local level, Little League relies on a devoted legion of adult volunteers to help ensure that the organization remains structured and runs smoothly. Your local Little League program is always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support and coordinate Little League events and activities. As a volunteer, you should have a keen interest in the safety, well-being, and overall development of children. By reading further, you will discover that the benefits of volunteering are endless. You will also gain a better understanding of why you should become involved, who volunteers are, what you can do, and how you can sign up.

Who Can Volunteer?

Anyone can apply to become a volunteer. Whatever talents or skills you have, we can use them! Across the country, volunteers are grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, retirees, community leaders, former Little Leaguers, friends, neighbors, and more. Any community member who wishes to become a volunteer may apply.

All parents of children involved in Little League Baseball and Softball are strongly encouraged to volunteer. As a parent, volunteer, you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your child in a safe, fun-filled environment. Oftentimes, parent and child social lives parallel each other. Volunteering allows your life and your child's life to intersect on common ground, with shared interests and goals.

On rare occasions, Little League, through District Administrators and your local Board of Directors, may deny individuals the privilege of volunteering for reasons, past or present, that may be detrimental to the positive development of young people, other volunteers, and/or Little League International. When you apply to become a volunteer, you give WMLL the right to conduct necessary background checks. We will review every application submitted, and work directly with those approved for additional background checks.

How Do I Become A Volunteer?

Parents, take a minute to fill out the volunteer online form below while registering your child.   We are primarily looking to review and select the roster of on-field managers and coaches.  Every team needs further volunteers such as scorekeeper, team parent, and field prep but these positions may be determined by your team in the spring and do not require this application, background check and CA LiveScan fingerprinting process.

Who We Need

Team On-Field Staff: Team Managers, Assistant Coaches.  Anyone that will be on the field during practices and games must apply.  If selected you will be invited to complete an annual background check and guided on how to complete the CA LiveScan fingerprinting process if you have not done so for WMLL already.
