we have an urgent need for coaches at the rallycap 5u and 7u level

Paradise Minor Baseball is a non-profit, volunteer run association who are always looking for enthusiastic, energetic individuals to help assist in the execution of our summer programs.  We need volunteers to help coach, assistant coach, or simply help keep our baseball program running as smoothly as possible throughout the season.  Without an adequate number of dedicated volunteers, we are unable to provide the kind of program we have envisioned for the youth of the Paradise community.
 
Anyone can apply to become a volunteer. While some roles can require some level of knowledge of the game of baseball, most of the volunteer positions require little or no knowledge or training. A large majority of the help required is to assist staff to organize and manage the players, to help keep players safe, and to help keep games and practices running as smoothly as possible.  If you are interested in becoming a trained coach, ​PMB will reimburse any course fees incurred​ to acquire the required levels.

Our hired staff are at the fields to umpire, officiate and facilitate game play and to help teach the kids the fundamental skills of baseball.   We can not hire staff to be coaches without a significant increase in registration fees.  We make every attempt to keep the registration fees as low as possible to make the game of baseball accessible to as many kids as possible. 
 
The demand for volunteers is greater than it has ever been.  ​If we do not have enough volunteers for our divisions, we may have no choice but to cancel programming​.

Some volunteer positions we are seeking and a short description of duties for each are as follows:
