How can I help?
There are many ways to volunteer:
- Coach (T-Ball, B-Ball & Farm all require new coaches each year)
- Fundraising support
- Concession stand help
- Field preparation before games
- Announcer on our Majors Field
- Scoreboard operator
A sign-up sheet for announcer and scoreboard positions will be circulated (NEW for 2026).
Maximum of 3 children are allowed in the announcer booth.
If interested, please email the league—NELL is fully volunteer-run, and we welcome you to join the family!
You can also select volunteer areas when registering your child online.
