Rocklin Little League Volunteer Program

Rocklin Little League, charted by Little League International, is operated by volunteers and aims to promote the ideals of community-building through volunteer service.  For Rocklin Little League to operate and fulfill its mission of building stronger individuals and communities through youth baseball, many volunteer roles and duties must be fulfilled throughout the season. 

For the Spring 2025 season, each family will be required to commit to 10 hours (with at least 2 hours in the snack bar) during the Spring season, along with providing a $200 deposit at the time of tryouts. Your deposit check will be held until the completion of the required 10 hours and then returned to the family.

Failure to complete your volunteer hours by the last game of the regular season or a no-show for a scheduled shift will result in your check being cashed. Families can opt out of the policy by paying a $200 add-on at registration. While we would much rather have your time, we understand that not everyone can commit additional hours at the fields. 

Board Members and Managers are not required to submit a deposit. Managers MUST complete an application to volunteer, be interviewed AND approved, and pass a background check before tryouts to be exempt. Coaches and Team Parents MUST turn in a check during tryouts; checks will be returned AFTER rosters have been completed and team volunteer positions are established. 

Details:

• One $200 check per family (regardless of the number of players) is to be submitted at tryouts (all families, regardless of tryout status, will come to turn in their checks).
• Checks should be payable to Rocklin Little League and include the player(s) name in the memo line. 
• A check must be submitted so the player can receive their uniform.
• Any unfulfilled requirements will result in checks being cashed at the conclusion of the regular season; final regular season games are in May, and a final deadline will be communicated.
• There will be no refunds for any checks cashed due to hours not being logged before the communicated deadline.Any returned checks or incurred banking fees will result in an invoice mailed to the family home.
• For families that opt out of the policy, deposits will not be refunded.
