Rocky Hill Little League is run by a dedicated group of volunteers who serve on the Board of Directors. Although we work closely with the Town of Rocky Hill, the league is not operated by the town. As parents and board members, our primary goal is to provide the youth of Rocky Hill with the best possible baseball and softball experience.
Because we are an all-volunteer organization, we rely on the support of our families to successfully operate league programs. To help ensure every child enjoys a fun and memorable season, the Board of Directors has implemented a $50 Volunteer Deposit per family, collected at the time of registration.
The goal is not to keep this money – it’s to encourage participation and support.
The Volunteer Deposit is fully refundable once the required service commitment is met. Each family must earn a minimum of three (3) volunteer credits during the season. There are many ways to earn credits (listed below), and additional ideas are always welcome. If requirements are not met, the $50 will become a fully tax deductible donation to RHLL.
Online sign-up sheets will be available once game schedules are finalized so parents can choose from open shifts and roles throughout the season.
How to Earn Volunteer Credits
Each family must earn at least 3 credits during the season. Examples include:
- Board Member – 3 credits
- Head Coach – 3 credits
- Assistant Coach – 2 credits
- Concession Stand Help (one game) – 1 credit
- Scoreboard Operator (per game) – 1 credit
- Announcer (per game) – 1 credit
- Opening Day Help – 1 credit
- Field openings and closings (spring or fall) – 1 credit
If you have another idea for how you can help, please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator or any board member – we’re happy to be flexible as long as it supports the league.
