Sign up for Safety Crew TODAY!

We are grateful for the community response to our appeal for members of our Safety Crew. THANK YOU! We still need volunteers in order to run our season, so please consider signing up, if you haven’t already.

Remember, you don’t need baseball skills–all you need is a desire to help and a willingness to give some time.

These are the roles that we need to fill with volunteers:

TEMPERATURE AND SYMPTOM CHECKER: These volunteers will take the temperature of players and coaches along with filling out a basic checklist for each player that will be sent back to the recreation department staff. The department will provide all thermometers and required PPE for these volunteers. This is a ONE HOUR commitment, per day that you are scheduled to (and are available to) help. Note that coaches may not serve this role during their game or practice time. However, we are very happy if you’d like to sign up for those role during a time you are not serving as a coach.

SOCIAL DISTANCING AMBASSADOR: These volunteers will be assigned time slots at specific locations and will be the friendly voice reminding our players, coaches and spectators to maintain social distance and to wear a mask when not engaged in play. They are not to be engaged in actively watching games during this time and are just a patrol to make sure we are meeting the standards we have set. This is a TWO HOUR commitment, per day that you are scheduled to (and are available to) help. Note that coaches may not serve this role during their game or practice time. However, we are very happy if you’d like to sign up for those role during a time you are not serving as a coach.

PLEASE HELP! We will not have a season if we don’t have Safety Monitors. Our coaches can’t be expected to handle these duties. Imagine being a swim team coach and a lifeguard at the same time. It’s not in anyone’s best interest. So please, volunteer to be a a member of our essential Safety Crew! This is a chance for any community member to step up and volunteer. And please, spread the word: any member of our community is invited to participate. Safety Crew members do not have to have children in the program, in order to help out.

In order to volunteer, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/7TkT6cyGMzDtWf718.

THANK YOU for helping to make this season a success!

If have already stepped up to be a member of the Safety Crew, THANK YOU! This week you will hear from Mark Calveric, who is helping to helm this initiative. If you have any questions for Mark, please e-mail facilities.sombaseball@gmail.com.
