Little League Baseball and Softball is an organization designed to build good citizens. It is a program of leadership, preparing today's youth to be tomorrow's leaders. At the local level, Little League relies on a devoted legion of adult volunteers to help ensure that the organization remains structured and runs smoothly. Lemon Grove 

Little League is always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support and coordinate Little League events and activities. If you have a keen interest in the safety, well-being, and overall development of children, volunteering with LGLL  might be for you.

No experience is required to become a volunteer. Most of the volunteer opportunities require little or no training. Lemon Grove  Little League will provide you with any necessary training (as well as support and encouragement), as it deems necessary.

The best volunteers are those who are able to bring added enjoyment to the game simply be being themselves. What you see during Little League games is a mere fraction of what you can do as a volunteer. You can volunteer to help in virtually any aspect of Little League Baseball or Softball.

Who Can Volunteer?

Anyone, from friends and family to members of the community can apply to become a volunteer. Whatever talents or skills you have, LGLL can use them!  All parents of children involved in Little League Baseball and Softball are strongly encouraged to volunteer. As a parent volunteer, you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your child in a safe, fun-filled environment. Oftentimes, parent and child social lives parallel each other. Volunteering allows your life and your child's life to intersect on common ground, with shared interests and goals.
