Dear Parents,

Delano Youth Baseball and Softball Association (DYBSA) is a non-profit organization run by volunteers.  Similar to other activities in which your sons/daughters may be involved, DYBSA cannot function without parents volunteering their time!

Volunteer Deposit:  ALL families with players above T-ball, Coach Pitch or 8U Softball are required to submit a separate volunteer deposit check of $500 as part of your family’s registration.

YOUR CHECK IS DUE NO LATER THAN EVALUATIONS/TRYOUTS OR YOU CAN MAIL IT IN EARLY TO:

ONLY one volunteer deposit is required per family.  Failure to submit your volunteer CHECK will result in not being able to participate in evaluations.  Deposit checks will be destroyed after the end of this season if hours are met and reported.  Deposit checks will be cashed if volunteer requirements are not fulfilled.

Volunteer Requirements: ALL families with players above T-ball, Coach Pitch or 8U level are required to volunteer.   DYBSA volunteer time requirement is 8 hours for one CHILD. (see chart below for your family’s minimum requirement). The maximum FAMILY volunteer requirement is 12 hours in the case of multiple children. We realize that many families do more than the minimum required volunteer hours, we set a minimum so all families understand the need for your time and talents.

Additional Volunteer Clarification:

1. Tournament concessions, grilling, field prep and set-up/clean-up are required volunteer duties.  All team families should anticipate working at home hosted tournaments throughout the season.

2. Head Coach, MAXIMUM of 2 Assistant Coaches per team (must meet AC requirements), as well as Tournament Host Family will fulfill the minimum volunteer requirements by holding these positions.  

3. **NEW** designated book keeper by head coach will receive half of your volunteer hours if head coach notifies volunteer coordinator at the beginning of the season!

3. While the following tasks are appreciated and useful during the season, they are NOT eligible for volunteer hours: base-coaching, field prep for regular games, team manager, additional assistant coaches, etc.

4. Any alternate methods of satisfying any portion of the volunteer requirements must be previously submitted and approved by the DYBSA Volunteer Coordinator.  

5. To fulfill a volunteer hour, children must be age 12 to work in the concession stand (able to safely and sanitarily handle food and independently mentally tabulate order costs and make change) and 14 to work as field prep (independently complete manual labor with little direction).  Any child 14 or under must be working alongside a parent/guardian.

If you have any questions about eligible volunteer work, please contact Becky Jorgenson.  Email address linked above.

Thank you for helping to  make this a great 2024 season!
