VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES
Essex Junction Little League is a non profit organization, which relies on volunteers to operate. Some of the volunteering opportunities available each season are listed below, for those interesting in assisting and donating some of their time.
Coaching - Whether it be manager or assisting, EJLL needs volunteer coaches each season. Baseball knowledge is preferred, but not required. See more specifics about regular season coaching under the separate "coaching" tab.
Snack Bar window and grill - Whenever Little League games are hosted at Maple Street Park, the snack bar by Seman Field is usually open. This is one of the primary fundraisers for EJLL, which makes it essential for parental volunteers to cover snack bar shifts.
Umpiring - Majors (American League), and Minors (National League) games need at least one, (preferably two) umpires for each game. Baseball knowledge is preferred, but not required.
Field Maintenance - It takes a lot of time and effort to keep the fields in good condition. In addition, regular field work needs to be done, before and after each game. For parents who are just spectating, no baseball knowledge is required to assist with raking the field.
Board Members - EJLL is always looking for board members to fill vacancies and help with the numerous required tasks each season. As it is common for existing members to step down, once their own children move on from Little League.
In efforts to keep kids safe, and per Little League requirements, all volunteers who come in regular contact with players MUST complete and submit a Little League volunteer form each year. This applies even if you have submitted a form in previous years, or have gone through a background check for other employment.
If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, please fill out the Little League Volunteer form (linked below and in the forms section of this site), and return it to EJRP offices at 75 Maple Street Essex Junction. For more information, send interest and inquiries to [email protected]
