SYB Volunteer Policy

2025 SYB Volunteer Program (Spring Season)

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 participation in the Hit-a-Thon, each family will be responsible for fulfilling 4 hours of volunteer service, 6 hours if a family has multiple players.  Deposit checks will be required to be submitted to Salem Youth Baseball at evaluations or before the player’s uniform will be handed out.  The checks will be destroyed or returned once the players family completes the required volunteer and fundraising activities that help make SYB successful!

  • Tag Day (canning) check = $75 per player / $125 max per family (check to be returned at completion of canning participation)
  • Hit-A-Thon check = $50 per player / $100 max per family (check to be returned after your player has created a fundraising page and participated in the hit-a-thon)
  • Volunteer check = $200 per player / $300 max per family (check to be returned at completion of parents volunteering hours)

All Tball, Farm, Minors, Majors and Juniors families (including board members and coaches) are required to participate in all activities.

Buy-Out Option: Should you wish to defer participation in Tag Day and/or Volunteering, please let the League now and we can cash your check to help off-set fundraising and tasks that your participation would have helped.

Bambino players are not required to volunteer or fundraise but we would always accept your help if requested. 

ALL VOLUNTEER HOURS WILL BE ASSIGNED ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS.  SIGN UP QUICKLY TO ENSURE YOU GET SLOTS THAT WORK BEST FOR YOU.

**CHECKS WILL BE HELD UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON OR DESTROYED ONCE VOLUNTEER AND FUNDRAISING REQUIREMENTS ARE MET.
