Bear River Little League, charted by Little League International, is operated by volunteers and aims to promote the ideals of community-building through volunteer service. 

For Bear River  Little League to operate and fulfill its mission of building stronger individuals and communities through youth baseball, many volunteer roles and duties must be fulfilled throughout the season. 

For the Spring 2025 season, each family will be required to commit to 12 hours during the Spring season, along with providing a $250 deposit at the time of document verification. Your deposit check will be held until the completion of the required 12 hours and then returned at the end of the season. 

Failure to complete your volunteer hours by the last game of the regular season will result in your check being cashed.  Families can opt out of the policy by paying a $250 add-on at registration. While we would much rather have your time, we understand that not everyone can commit additional hours at the fields. 

Board Members are not required to submit a deposit.

Managers,  Coaches and Team Parents MUST turn in a checks will be returned AFTER the season has concluded and you have completed your duties.

Details:
• One $250 check per family (up to 2 players)
• Checks should be payable to Bear River Little League and include the player(s) name in the memo line. 
• A check must be submitted so the player can receive their uniform.
• Any unfulfilled requirements will result in checks being cashed at the conclusion of the regular season; final regular season games are typically in June and a final deadline will be communicated. 
•  You MUST log all hours using the Volunteer Log.  
• There will be no refunds for any checks cashed due to hours not being logged before the communicated deadline.

• For families that opt out of the policy, deposits will not be refunded.
