VOLUNTEERS
Aldergrove Minor Baseball is a volunteer-run Association and, therefore, requires all families to help in order to keep the registration fees down. Without volunteers, we would need to hire out these jobs at a cost. Thank you to all of you for your continued support.
Hours Required:
Each family registered with AMBA is required to complete four (4) hours of volunteer work, which includes 2 hours in the Concession from the 5U to 18U divisions (NOTE: this is per FAMILY; not per PLAYER).
What Counts as Hours?
Hours will be counted only for jobs that are deemed to be a benefit to the Association which you will find through the emailed sign-ups. These include but are not limited to: Park clean-up/maintenance, fence set-up, post-season field take down, AMBA tournament duties, concession (mandatory 2 hours) and special events (pancake breakfast, gear swaps, fundraisers, etc.).
What Does NOT Count as Hours?
All Team associated roles DO NOT constitute volunteer hours and are the responsibility of ALL PARENTS. These include and are not limited to: Score keeping, pitch counting, field set up (line & rake fields), and field take down (rake and tarp field).
Deposit:
At the beginning of the season, each family is required to provide us with a $200 volunteer deposit cheque, fill out the AMBA Credit Card Authorization form or pay to opt out. Families will not receive their uniform until this has been submitted.
What if I am Not Able to Volunteer?
If a family is not able to volunteer at all, they can have their cheque or authorization form processed immediately.
What Happens at the End of the Season?
If volunteer hours are not complete; cheques/credit cards will be processed on or shortly after July 1st. If your hours have been completed the cheque/authorization form will be destroyed.
How Do We Track Hours?
All volunteers must sign in using a QR code provided at each volunteer session to be credited for their volunteer hours. We will no longer be manually tracking hours through team submissions.
