Sandwich Baseball Association is a community based, all-volunteer program. In order to keep SBA thriving, it is important that we have parents and community members volunteer their time to help provide children an affordable place to develop baseball skills within their own community.

Often times we are faced with the problem of having more children register than we have teams with coaches. If we wish to continue and grow this organization, we MUST have volunteers. PLEASE consider volunteering your time to be a Coach or Assistant Coach.

We would be honored to have you join the Sandwich Baseball Association family. Our mission is to provide an environment where young baseball players from diverse backgrounds are guided and inspired to reach their full potential both on and off the field. We are completely committed to providing our community with a model of quality youth development, education, and inspiration through the sport of baseball.

As a parent, you already know it takes all of us working together to help our children reach their full potential. We encourage all of our parents to get involved and volunteer to help out the Sandwich Baseball Association and their teams.

Parent Volunteer Coaches lead practice each week and coach at the teams scheduled games. We offer support to our coaches and respond quickly whenever you need support, guidance, or coaching tips.

As a volunteer coach, you will receive:

• Free coaches gear and equipment to use during the season;
• Ongoing support from our other coaches;

Questions relating to volunteering

1. Do I need to be an experienced coach to volunteer?
   1. While many of our coaches have played baseball themselves for many years, we also have parent volunteers who are not necessarily baseball players, but are good at teaching the skills necessary for players to develop.
2. What is required of me?
   1. You will need to commit to being available to run practices and games for the season. Being punctual to practices and games is a must! Communicating with your team & parents is one of the most important roles of the coach. If you are not a good communicator, it is fine to ask a parent to take on this role.
3. What are the benefits of coaching?
   1. You will get to pick your team's practice days and times. If you are a parent, you will get to spend quality time with your child, on the baseball field. This can be a great time to bond with your child. Guaranteed refund of your held Volunteer Fee.
4. What do I need to do to volunteer a Coach?
   1. Simply send an e-mail to stephanie.beery@sandwichbaseball.com stating that you would like to coach.
