Volunteer Opportunities
Coaches and volunteers are needed for all teams.
Most teams will require a manager, first aid person (safety), equipment manager, someone to install bases before each game, coach and, from the 11U level on up teams also require a scorekeeper, pitch counter and if possible (though rarely), someone who can umpire if the scheduled umpire cannot make it. All of these positions are made up from volunteer parents.
Please keep in mind that we need volunteers when you register your children. If we do not have volunteers to help out the kids don’t play.
Knowledge of baseball is not a pre-requisite to volunteering.

Respect in Sport
All volunteers regardless of sport are required to complete the Respect in Sport training from Sport Manitoba. The course is free, on-line and you work at your own pace and good for five years.
