Due to an overwhelming response, volunteer registration is now CLOSED as we have reached capacity. Thank you for your interest!
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Buddy for our Bambino program players. Buddies suggested age is 12 years or older and a MARA member is preferred but not necessary.
Registration does not guarantee that you will be a buddy. It depends on the number of player participants that sign up. We will confirm your status in early March. We always need back-up Buddies as well! The number of sessions you can attend will get priority.
Commitment:
Buddies need to commit to most if not all of the sessions and show up with enthusiasm and in the volunteer t-shirt. The program will consist of 8 Sundays (weather permitting).
When:
Season will begin March 10, 2024 and end May 5, 2024 (note: there is NO SESSION on Easter - Sunday, March 31). Sessions start at 2:00 pm and last about 60 minutes. We need our buddies to help with set-up and clean-up afterwards so it’s approximately a 1.5 hour commitment each Sunday. Arrival is 1:45 pm.
Dates:
3/10, 3/17, 3/24, 4/7, 4/14, 4/21, 4/28 & 5/5 - 2024
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 and a big smile. Mandatory training and a volunteer t-shirt will be provided prior to the start of the program for all volunteers.
Although Bambino Buddy-Ball is a free program to our participants, MARA is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization and any contribution is graciously accepted!
