Game Volunteering

Don't forget to get your parents involved in the following areas during your game play at Wolner Field.  There is a column on your team page in the schedule to record the names of the parent volunteers.

Game Volunteering – Each team (Home team and Visiting team) has small jobs to be done as part of each game.  These jobs include:

 

Home Team

-          Provide two concession workers for each game.  No children under 16 are allowed in the 1st floor of the concession building.

-          Cleanout items from the dugout (trash and forgotten items such as hats, gloves, etc.)

Visiting Team

-          Provide two workers to rake the field after each game.  Rakes are located in the green equipment building. This allows each team to start their game on a “fresh” field and helps prevent low areas from developing at home plate, around bases, and at the pitchers mound, which are then prone to collect water.

-          Provide one adult to sit in the announcing area for each field in the second floor of the buildings behind the field 1 and 2 backstops.  No children are allowed unaccompanied in the announcing area.  The adult should see that the announcing area is picked up of trash after each game.
