Roles
What can you do?

Guide a team from the tryouts through to the final. Experience with youth baseball or softball is welcome, not required. Signing up goes through your regional coordinator.
Become a coachUmpire
Officiate games at the championship. New umpires are trained beforehand; experience is not needed.
Become an umpireVenue volunteer
Help out for a half-day at one of the venues: from scoreboard and catering to welcoming the teams.
Help outWell arranged
All volunteers work with a VOG and according to the Safe sport code of conduct. You are briefed beforehand and never left on your own.
How the VOG worksRegional coordinators
Each region has a coordinator who organises the tryouts and the teams, and who signs up the coaches. Something for you?
About the regional coordinatorsTasks at a venue
When signing up you say what appeals to you and when you are available. One half-day is already enough.
All hands on deck
A tournament weekend runs on volunteers. This is the work you see in the photos from the 2026 championship.
