Volunteering Requirements

- Volunteering at our club’s fundraising tournament in the fall. We ask everyone to give 4 hours to help the tournament run smoothly. One important piece is umpiring games. This is a great opportunity to learn and practice with on-field support or
- Volunteering in a role with our management team or the league executive. These positions significantly contribute to the club and earning the volunteer deposit. Here are the positions we are looking for this year.

Umpires
We need UMPIRES on each team! To allow our existing umpires to play as much as possible, step up to assist in this role in the program. Learning the rules is a great way to improve your own skill level and give back. Umpires are paid at a rate of $40 per game.
FHO is running an umpire clinic on Saturday, May 10 2025. This will be in-person. Here is the link to the form.
