Jericho Baseball wouldn't be possible without it's volunteers. Our volunteers are ​a huge part of why we're one of the best leagues around!
Volunteer Roles
​
We depend upon volunteers for a variety of roles including coaching, Board of Directors, working the concession, field maintenance, special events and more! Jericho parent volunteers put in around 5000 hours of volunteer time every year to manage and run the league and offer baseball programs to our players.
*These hours do NOT include field prep which falls under normal parental responsibilities.
That works out to about 8 hours of volunteer time per registered player. Many thanks to those dedicated parents that volunteer way more than the 8 hours required to support their child and making a significant contribution to the community as a whole. THANK YOU!
Please use this sheet to sign up for key roles, like Tournament Coordinator & Volunteer Coordinator, etc. as well as general roles like concession shifts, event helpers & errand runners. Use the tabs at the bottom of the sheet to view different roles available. This is updated frequently so check back often!

Please reach out to admin@jerichobaseball.com if you have any questions about the volunteer roles or the volunteer deposit.
​
We aim to assign 1 Team Manager and 2-3 coaches per team. Criminal Record Checks are required for all Team Managers and Coaches. Individuals assigned a Team Manager/Coach role will earn a volunteer deposit refund for their time.
We aim to assign 1-2 Scorekeepers per team. Training will be provided. Scorekeepers are expected to track and submit scores for home games. Individuals assigned a Scorekeeper role will earn a volunteer deposit refund for their time.
Volunteer Deposit
In addition to the registration fee, each player is required to pay a volunteer deposit of $175. This fee is fully refundable if/when you volunteer a minimum of 8 hours of time, on behalf of a player, over the course of the season. This includes Coaching, a role on the Board of Directors, or general roles, like helping our with photos, working the concession, etc.
Parental Responsibilities
Parents are required to be at the field supervising their children during all practice and game times. For liability reasons, our volunteer coaches cannot accept parental responsibility for your children.
Our coaches are focused on providing structured practice drills to improve players’ baseball skills. They are not running a babysitting service. If a parent must leave the field for any reason, they must assign supervision of their child to a trusted friend or guardian – not the coaches.

We ask that all parents help out with field prep ahead of games.
