Hello Churchland Little League Families,
This year, we have increased our non-volunteer fee to $100 per family. We want to be very transparent about why.
Quite simply, we need helping hands.
Churchland Little League is powered entirely by volunteers. From maintaining the fields to running concessions, organizing equipment, and keeping our complex clean and welcoming, there is a long list of tasks that make game days possible. When more families pitch in, the experience improves for everyone, especially our players.
The good news is that volunteering does not have to be complicated or time-consuming. Many opportunities fit naturally into your game-day routine. Families are typically at the fields about an hour early, which is a perfect time to help rake or prep a field, line trash cans, or assist with simple setup. If you have a little downtime before an afternoon game, spending a couple of hours in the concession stand grilling burgers or helping with sales makes a huge impact. At the end of the day, something as simple as emptying a trash can on your way to the parking lot helps keep our complex clean and ready for the next teams.
These small efforts add up quickly and allow us to focus our resources on what matters most: providing a positive, affordable baseball and softball experience for our kids.
Volunteering also sends a powerful message to our players. When they see families working together, helping where needed, and taking pride in their league, they learn the values of teamwork, community, and cooperation. Those lessons last far longer than any single season.
There truly are many easy ways to avoid the volunteer fee while making a meaningful difference. We appreciate every family who steps up, whether for a few hours or throughout the season. Your time and effort help make Churchland Little League the special place it is.
Thank you for being part of our community, and we look forward to another great season together.
