VOLUNTEERS ALWAYS NEEDED                                              

North Langley Diamond Sports Softball program is run 100% by volunteers to ensure the girls have a great season.  The list of volunteer opportunities is long and range from the Pre Season which involve an afternoon commitment all the way up to year long positions on the executive.  During the Season volunteer help is always needed before games and after games.

NLDS can't stress enough that ANY HELP large or small is always welcome.  It takes a community to build a softball league where all teams can excel.

DURING THE SEASON                                                            

FIELD PREP - raking & line "painting" before and after games

TEAM PARENT - ensures all forms are handed in, is the communication between coach and parent, ensure schedule is up to date and raffle tickets are collected.

ASSISTANT COACH - helps organize practice drills and assists with game strategy

COACH - organizes practices and player rotation during games, batting orders etc.... one coached laughed and said "is that all I do!"  In the future this "job description" will be more detailed :)

DIVISION COORDINATOR - middle management of the volunteer world!  They are the "go to" for all coaches in the division and distributes information from the league.  Also assist in some scheduling and documenting the season game results.  Coordinators are on hand one month before the season starts to assist with team organizations.

PUB NIGHT/ DANCE COORDINATOR - coordinator is a good word!  This is a large fund raiser that involves picking the venue & the menu + silent auction items and ticket sales thru the teams.  Those of you that play hockey know ALL about these fund raisers.They are FUN!!

RAFFLE ORGANIZER -  every year NLDS has a fund raising raffle.  In the past prizes have included plasma TV's, iPods, Game Consoles.  Anyone with connections to "good stuff" is an asset here...even if you don't want to do any work, your connection will get you off the hook for any future work commitment in the Raffle category!
