Thank you for your interest in becoming a Buddy for our Bambino program players. Buddies suggested age is 13 years or older and a MARA member is preferred but not necessary.

Commitment:

Buddies need to attend most all of the games and show up with enthusiasm and in uniform. The program will consist of (6) Sundays.

When:

Season will begin Sunday, March 13. Sessions start at 2:00 pm and last about 60-75 minutes. We need our buddies to help with set-up and clean-up afterwards so it’s approximately a 2 hour commitment each Sunday.

Program Start & End Dates:

6 Sundays from March 13 - May 15. Off dates will be April 10 & April 17 due to Easter & Spring Break. Dates are subject to change due to inclement weather as we usually get rainouts in the spring. 

Where:

MARA, Arthur Goodman Park, Field #8

Why:

To help kids learn baseball skills and how to play the game along with experiencing the thrill of team play and camaraderie. It is a great way to get involved in the community and it counts as community service hours for school or scout requirements (if needed).

Experience:

No experience necessary – just a positive attitude, a big smile and know a little bit about baseball. We will provide mandatory training prior to the start of the program for all volunteers and a uniform shirt. 

Although Bambino Buddy-Ball is a complementary program to our participants, MARA is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization and any contribution is graciously accepted!                                                     

COVID Policy:

MARA has taken the necessary precautions to make sure our members and families stay safe at our complex. Hand sanitizer will be available at all times. We will monitor the current mandates and make adjustments as necessary.
