Volunteers make the league work, so please, get involved. Coaches, umpires and team managers receive league-sponsored training and those volunteers are placed on the same team as their child. Other roles, such as Special Events Participant, help the League in general and are not associated with a particular team. For investing their time, Volunteers receive a rebate after the season to help offset registration fees.

The league is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of parents of players, just like yourself. The Board meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month (except August & December) at the Hart Park Pavilion. Anyone interested is welcomed and encouraged to offer their constructive input on the running of the league.

We recognize that not all parents can be a coach or umpire, so we have created additional volunteer roles that take less time but are also important to TBL.
