Rocklin Little League, chartered by Little League International, is operated solely by volunteers and strives to promote community building through volunteer service. For Rocklin Little League to manage and fulfill its mission of building stronger individuals and communities through youth baseball, many volunteer roles and duties must be fulfilled throughout the season.
Each family must commit to 10 hours (with at least 2 hours in the snack bar) throughout the Season. A physical $200 check or a pre-authorized card on file with RLL is required. You agree that RLL may cash your physical check or charge the card on file if you do not complete the required volunteer hours within the specified timeframe. If you complete the required hours, your card on file will be canceled or your physical check will be returned to you or properly destroyed, if requested.
Failure to complete your volunteer hours by the end of the Season or a no-show for a scheduled shift could result in your check being cashed or your card on file being charged. Families can OPT OUT of the policy by paying a $200 opt-out fee during registration. While we would prefer and greatly appreciate your time, we understand that not everyone can commit additional hours to the field. We will always do our best to work with you and find ways for you to complete your 10 hours so that the $200 fee is not charged.
Board Members and Approved Managers are not required to submit a physical check or card on file. Managers MUST complete an application to volunteer, be interviewed AND approved, and pass a background check before tryouts to be considered "Approved" and thus exempt. Coaches and Team Parents must submit a physical check or provide a card on file before workouts/tryouts. Checks will be returned, or the card on file will be canceled after rosters have been completed and team volunteer positions have been established.
Details:
- One $200 check per family (regardless of the number of players), or a pre-authorized card on file, must be submitted before workouts/tryouts. A card on file is a secured card payment method with Stripe (a secure PCI-compliant online payment platform).
- Physical check must be payable to Rocklin Little League and include the player's name in the memo line.
- Any unfulfilled requirements will result in checks being cashed or a card on file being charged after the Spring season concludes.
- There will be no refunds for any checks cashed or cards charged due to hours not being logged before the end of the Spring season. We will communicate the date of the last Volunteer opportunities.
- Any returned checks or failed card charges, plus any incurred banking fees, will result in an invoice being mailed to the family's home address for payment.
- For families that opt out of the policy, fees will not be refunded for any reason.
