Santa Teresa Little League

Volunteering Opportunities

Santa Teresa Little League relies on the time & talent of hundreds of volunteers each season to bring our mission of teaching life lessons through the game of baseball to life!  

STLL Board of Directors
In addition to the day to day roles that game to life on the field (Managers, Coaches, Snack Shack Volunteers, Umpires, etc) it takes a great deal of off-the-filed work to bring the season to life.  Below you will see a list of these roles.  Many of these volunteers are member of the Santa Teresa Little League Board of Directors, who help shape the direction of the League and represent the League's General membership (players, parents, coaches, etc,) by voting on important League decisions. Board Members are elected by the General Membership of the League. 

While we hold annual Board Elections, we are always accepting applications to join the STLL Board.  Click Here to fill out an application.   
(Note:  Board Members can be voted in by the board outside of the Annual Election)

Volunteer Coordinator Roles
Some Coordinator roles listed do not require a volunteer to be a Board Member.  For volunteers that can commit to a few hours a week, during specific time of the year, a coordinator role is a great way to give back to the STLL community.  If you are interested in learning more, please email [email protected] for more information.
