Volunteer FAQ

Is a background check required to volunteer? 

For the safety of all our children, certain Little League volunteers must pass a background check. Background checks are conducted by the league, and you will be informed if you are in a volunteer position that requires a background check. 


How do I sign up for volunteer opportunities?

Volunteers can sign up on the SignUp app, which can be accessed on our website www.northsunrisell.org under the Volunteer Information Tab.


How do I report Volunteer Points I have earned?

Once you have completed your required points, please reach out to your team parent and advise them of the dates worked and points earned. The Team Parent will work directly with the Volunteer Coordinator to verify all points per family.


Can I volunteer and pay a portion of the “buyout?” 

The volunteer “buy out” for points is $300.00 per child. You may choose to volunteer for some points and pay for some points. 


For example, you may volunteer your time for 2 points, and you would only need to pay the remaining 4 points at $50 per point ($200), whatever works for you! 


What happens if I don’t fulfill my points for the season? 

If you do not fulfill your points through volunteering or “buyouts'’ by whichever date comes first — May 15th or by post season determination date, your child will not be eligible for postseason play and will NOT receive their end of year trophy. Additionally, if volunteer points are not fulfilled before season end, a fee will be added to your fee for the following year and must be paid if your child intends to receive their uniform for the following season. 


What if I can’t make my scheduled volunteer commitment? 

If you cannot make your scheduled volunteer commitment, please email [email protected] at least 48 hours in advance (or as far in advance as possible) of your scheduled volunteer time and explain your situation. Your assistance is important, and coordinators need time to find a replacement. Volunteer activities that are missed/forgotten volunteer due to family emergency, accident or sickness will be excused, but need to be made up in a timely manner. Unexcused absences from a volunteer commitment may be subject to a $50 per point fee. 


What if my Shift was canceled due to a rainout or canceled game?

If a game is canceled due to weather or by the league and the shifts are canceled, you will need to sign up for another shift on another date to make up these hours.


Can I transfer points to another player? 

The intention of the program is for all families to be involved in the league and assist in its operation. Since the volunteer requirement is per player, we are discouraging the transfer of points this season.  There are ample opportunities for participation throughout the season in which parents or family members of a player can earn their points.
