Lake Forest Little League is a 100% volunteer run nonprofit organization, including our Board of Directors. 

We require each player to provide a volunteer representative in order to spread the duties across all of our participants. Volunteer opportunities can be fulfilled as a Manager, Assistant Coach, Team Parent, Umpire (upper divisions), Scorekeeper (Upper Divisions) and Snack Bar volunteer. Throughout the season, there may be other opportunities to support events, such as Opening Day, evaluation day, etc. For more details on each role type, please click HERE. 

Those families who are unable to volunteer may opt out for a $350 fee per player, per season.  Volunteering or paying the opt-out fee is a condition of registration and no exceptions will be made. Those families who fail to fulfill their volunteer requirement by the end of the season will be assessed a non-volunteer fee of $175 PER unfulfilled shift on their account, which must be paid or cleared before the start of the next season. 

If you sign up for a volunteer role/shift and are a no show, you are subject to a $200 no show fee per shift. 

Additional volunteers may be needed for game days (e.g. field prep, post-game snacks) - these are up to the discretion of each team and how to allocate the duties across its players. These responsibilities will not fulfill your player's volunteer requirements. 

Please review the detailed description and summary of requirements for each Volunteer Roles and Volunteer Safety Requirements. Prospective volunteers should register through their Sports Connect account to initiate the onboarding process (see below). Note that you do not need to have a player registered in LFLL to become a volunteer, as long as you fulfill all of the safety requirements. 

Thank you to all of our volunteers for giving back to the community and allowing our players to play ball!
