2023 SYB Volunteer Program

Salem Youth Baseball relies on volunteers to keep this program running. To ensure that everyone contributes to the volunteer hours which are necessary to run the league the following volunteer program has been implemented in Salem Youth Baseball. In addition to mandatory participation in Tag Day (canning) and Calendar Sales, each family will be responsible for fulfilling 4 hours of volunteer service, 6 hours if a family has multiple players.  A check of $200 per player or $300 per family, will be required to be submitted to Salem Youth Baseball at tryouts or before the player’s uniform will be handed out.  A separate check will be collected for fundraising participation. 

 

For information on volunteering for the season, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator: Arianne Buckley (arianne1220@gmail.com)

 

Volunteer hours will be available as follows;

Game Day Volunteer Hours

  • Official Scorekeeper - 1 parent 2 hours credit per game

    • The home team manager will have the first option to assign one official scorekeeper per game.  The role requires the ability to follow the game and keep track of each pitch using a score book provided by the league. 

    • Scoreboard operating does not qualify for volunteer hours. 

Concession Stand Volunteer Hours

We will attempt to run our concession stand as much as possible with our volunteers;
