Volunteers
Volunteer To Help

We are an all volunteer organization and more help is always needed. If you would like to join or help out, please contact one of our board members and ask for details. 

Volunteering to help doesn't mean you're giving up your life. There are many small and/or one-time jobs that need done both during the season and during the off-season. Give what time you can and that means one less job that needs to be done by others. Contact any Board member or your team's coaches to sign-up.

What help is needed:

  • Concession Stand workers during the season
  • Field Work
  • Coaches
  • Board Members
  • Sponsors

Bear Lake Baseball  is an organization of volunteers. There are NO paid positions, except for umpires. Each person involved gives their time and effort to make a positive experience for all the players of the league. The Board members spend great amounts of time year-round to administer and organize the league.
Coaching staffs also spend a huge amount of time in both the pre-season and season for practices and games. They are giving their experience and time, please respect that sacrifice.
The umpires are not professionals, nor are they perfect. They're usually just kids or dads who love and respect the great game of baseball so much that they Ump just to be on the field. If we abuse them, they will eventually just go away.
