Volunteering
It is essential to have volunteers in all areas of our programs to ensure the best for our children. In particular, coaches, scorekeepers and umpires are needed for the younger age-levels. You do not need any prior experience in these areas, since Bedford Babe Ruth Baseball/Softball, Inc. conducts clinics to prepare volunteers for teaching the players and administering to their needs. Working with children is a very rewarding experience and we urge you to volunteer with us.
