# No championship without you

Join in!

Coaches, umpires and helping hands at the venues: together they make the tournament weekend possible.

Roles

## What can you do?

[Coach 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 coach](https://nklittleleague.nl/en/vrijwilligers/coaches)

[Umpire Officiate games at the championship. New umpires are trained beforehand; experience is not needed. Become an umpire](https://nklittleleague.nl/en/vrijwilligers/umpires)

[Venue volunteer Help out for a half-day at one of the venues: from scoreboard and catering to welcoming the teams. Help out](https://nklittleleague.nl/en/vrijwilligers/allerlei)

## Well 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 works](https://nklittleleague.nl/en/veilig-sporten/vog)

## Regional 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 coordinators](https://nklittleleague.nl/en/vrijwilligers/regiocoordinatoren)

## Tasks 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.
