Snack Bar / Other Events

SNACK BAR: LFLL will be running the Snack Bar for baseball/softball tournaments hosted by the city of Lake Forest throughout the year and will need volunteers to help. The Snack Bar generates revenue for the league which helps keep registration fees down amidst rising costs to run the program.

Youth volunteers ages 10-14 may volunteer in the Snack Bar alongside their parent or adult guardian. Youth volunteers ages 15-17 do not require parent/guardian supervision but should sign up for a shift with at least one adult volunteer for safety purposes. Youth volunteers are not subject to the background check requirement. Please do not bring children under age 10 with you on your shift, as there is limited space inside the snack bar.

Snack Bar shifts may be at either Heroes Park or Lake Forest Sports Park. There will be opportunities during the Spring and Fall seasons, as well as some opportunities "off season" during the summer and winter. Duties include taking/fulfilling orders, operating the Square register, food prep, and grilling burgers and hot dogs.

Check out our YouTube Channel for snack bar instructional videos.

OTHER: There will be opportunities to help at other one-off events, such as Fields Day, Opening Day, Player Evaluation Day and Picture Day.

The only requirement to volunteer for the Snack Bar or Other Event is a background check (required for adults age 18+ only). As part of its Child Protection Program, Little League International (LLI) requires all leagues and districts in the United States to conduct an annual background check, including a nationwide criminal search, a search of the National Sex Offender Registry, review of the U.S. Center for SafeSport Centralized Disciplinary Database and Little League International Ineligible List. LFLL utilizes J.D Palatine (JDP), which is LLI’s preferred provider, to conduct its background checks. The annual period resets on October 1st of each year, so those participating in Fall Ball will need to complete the background check process twice during the season. If you completed the background check since 10/1 of the previous year, then you are already cleared for the Spring season. Everyone else will be receiving a link soon to complete the application to get it done based on the information provided during registration.
