Aldergrove Minor Baseball is a volunteer-run Association and, therefore, requires all families to help in order to keep the registration fees down. Baseball is a team sport that promotes skill & leadership development, friendships and life skills all while getting outdoors and getting some exercise. We want to make sure that ALL children have the opportunity to play the wonderful game regardless of their financial situation. Without volunteers, we would need to hire out these jobs at a cost. Thanks to all of you for your continued support.

 

Hours Required:

 

Each family is required to complete six (6) hours of volunteer work, 2 of which must be completed in the concession, from the 5U to 18U divisions. At registration each family is required to provide us with a $250.00 volunteer deposit cheque. If this not available to you please connect with your Team Manager to get a Credit Card authorization sheet.

If a family is not able to volunteer at all, they will have the option to choose the volunteer opt-out package at the time of registration and will have paid their $250.00 volunteer opt-out at that time.

Should a family decide partway through the season that they will not be able to volunteer, then an email must be sent to the AMBA Registrar and request that their Volunteer Deposit cheque be cashed or credit card be charged. Otherwise, if volunteer hours are not complete; cheques will be cashed on or before July 1st.

Parents need to keep track of their hours on the Parent Volunteer Summary Form. The master copy of this form is given to each manager. Please inform your team manager when you have completed your hours. They will record it on the master copy that must be submitted at the end of the season.

Volunteer support from parents, guardians and family members is vital to Aldergrove Minor Baseball’s success. Without volunteers, the Association would not exist.

Volunteers like you are what makes Aldergrove Minor Baseball an Annual Success !!!
