Norfolk Baseball is a non-profit organization that relies on volunteers to insure that the Association runs smoothly.  Therefore, all parents are required to volunteer.  There are many ways in which parents can help.  Below are some of the volunteer positions and basic descriptions of the job.

Team Manager:

  • The team manager is the individual responsible for the management of the little league team.  This includes choosing players, choosing two assistant coaches, and a team parent. You would be responsible for understanding and teaching the rules of the league as well as the principles of the Norfolk Baseball Association. You are the primary person in charge of instructing the players in the sport as well as the sportsmanship of the game.  Background check will be performed on anyone volunteering for this position. There is also an administrative function to this job (that should be delegated to the Team Parent) that includes team notification of team photos, concession stand duties, and potential fund-raising efforts.

Coach:

  • There are two coaches that assist the team manager with the team. Their responsibilities are to support the manager and may include instructing players, running practices, field maintenance, scorebook recording, and filling in for the manager in case that person cannot make it to a game. Background check will be performed on anyone volunteering for this position.

Team Parent:

  • The team parent is an integral part of the team.  The team parent helps the team organize and communicate within the team and to player’s parents.  Other responsibilities may include uniform distribution, call lists, team photo day coordination, scheduling parents for concession stand duties, communicating schedule changes and fund-raising activities. Background checks will be performed on anyone volunteering for this position. The intent of the Team Parent position is to alleviate the administrative duties from the Team Manager so he/she can concentrate on baseball instruction. 

Concession Stand Coordinator:

  • These individuals would assist the Concession Stand Manager in the day to day activities in keeping the concession stands up and running.  This includes managing inventory, food and drink purchases and pick ups, staffing the concession stand, arranging for the opening and closing of the stand, and general upkeep.
