Volunteer

Please consider joining us for a day of exhausting, but rewarding, fun.

Since one of our goals is to bring as many people from the Jackson and West TN area on board this adventure as possible, several roles are already filled. However, we can always use eager and experienced hands.

Please note that several roles will require training in advance. 

Friday afternoon set up begins at noon and will continue throughout the evening. Teams/volunteeers willing to help will recieve early access to pit set up and practice fields. 

Full day Saturday volunteers will recieve breakfast, lunch, snacks, and all the coffee you can drink.
