The 2012 Northshore Little League Season does not just
happen. It requires many hours by very hard working, dedicated
volunteers to make it happen. This is where you come in
and your help is very much needed. It is a great way to
get involved with your children and community, meet new
friends and have fun all at the same time. Don’t be
afraid to get involved as any help is appreciated and welcomed.
We ask that each person volunteer his or her time to make
the season successful.
Board of Directors
There are several positions still open at this time including
many softball and hardball positions. There are many activities
which the Board can use your help for. This is a great way
to have an impact on the League’s direction and vision.
Take a look at the list of positions and let us know if
you are interested.
Umpires
There is a desperate need for umpires at all levels both
in Boy’s Hardball and Girl’s Softball. All umpires
are volunteer. If your child played last year without a
uniformed umpire it was because there were none available.
This is where the league needs you to volunteer the most.
We will provide certified training to anyone interested
(But you don’t have to be certified to Umpire).
Managers
We offer Little League approved training to help you get
started. Sign-up early so we can be ready for the start
of the season.
Coaches
The more coaches each team has the more the kids can learn.
A great way to learn the ropes to become a Manager.
Girl’s Softball
This program is trying hard to grow and provide quality
competition for the girls in our community. To improve this
program for your children we need a lot of help in many
areas including player agents, level coordinators, managers,
coaches and umpires. Now is the time to step up and volunteer
to make this a program to be proud of.
Team Parents / Volunteers
Managers and Coaches provide hundreds of hours teaching
baseball to your children. Without help at the team level
your child’s manager and coaches will be overwhelmed
trying to make everything happen. Team help needed includes
Umpires, field preparation, candy, uniforms, pictures, trophies,
team party, treat list, score keeper and Mariners Day.
| Role Of The
Little League Parent |
|
The parents of millions of Little Leaguers, combined
with their youngsters, league Officials, umpires,
managers, coaches and countless volunteers including
sponsors, represent an imposing cross section of the
nation. Parents should accept the fact that they must
shoulder the responsibility and take initiative to
make the local program successful. Little League is
not a club in which membership implies baby-sitting
benefits and entertainment privileges. Practically
speaking, Little League is an adult, volunteer work
project constructed, supervised and assisted by volunteer
parents who desire to make its benefits extend to
all children. Each parent should join in the total
effort. There is a place and a job for all to do.
The burden of operating a league should not fall on
a few. The parent who shirks this responsibility cannot
in turn, expect others to assume the responsibility.
