During uniform distribution, families will be required to sign a agreement with payment information for the $50 volunteer fee we are asking families to contribute to the management of the park. We ask each family to help 2 hours throughout the season or just coming out to our Park Clean-up Day. At the end of the season if you have fulfilled your volunteer agreement we will shred the pre-payment (check or credit card) or return the signed form back to you. If you choose not to volunteer we will charge the $50 as you assigned on the form.
What can I volunteer for to waiver my volunteer fee? You can assist with our Park Clean-up day the Saturday before Opening Day, you can help assist with tasks during Opening Day, before game field prep and clean-up, field maintenance such as mowing, weeding, clean-up. If you have knowledge of Landscaping or have a green thumb we can use you. If you have construction background we have some projects for you! You can volunteer for many of our committees, ask a member of the board about any committee openings. Let us know on the Volunteer Form how you think your special skills or talents can help the League. Remember, no volunteer contribution is too small.
Are There Any Volunteer Requirements? Yes, most of our positions require a background check due to the privacy and safety of our players and their families. Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Team Manager, Concessions, Board Members to name a few.
Why Are Background Checks Necessary? All little league programs nationwide are required to annually conduct background checks on Managers, Coaches, Board of Directors members and any other persons, volunteers or hired workers, who provide regular service to the league and/or have repetitive access to, or contact with players or teams.
The purpose of these background checks is to protect our children by providing as safe an environment as possible. Therefore, failure to complete and submit the volunteer application form by those required to do so will result in that person being barred from participation in Soldotna Little League.
All information received by the league will be treated as confidential. Should you have questions regarding this requirement, please email [email protected]
If a family partially completes their hours, do they get their refund? No, they must complete two (2) hours of work to their team or the Little League.
If a family has more than one athlete enrolled in SLL, do they need to complete two (2) hours per athlete? No, the requirement is applicable to a family, regardless of how many athletes they have in the league. We will never turn away help no matter the time limitations.
