Ballard Little League is 100% volunteer run. Each year, as new players come into the league and veteran players exit out, we have a mix of new, returning and exiting volunteers. This includes coaches, board members and umpires. In a typical season, we will have 30 teams with 2-3 coaches each, 20 board members and over 30 umpires. In total, it takes around 200 volunteers to run each season and we are always in need of parents and community members to assist BLL. Volunteering on the Board, as a coach or an umpire is a ton of fun and very rewarding. Please consider joining our league as a volunteer.
