Thank you for your interest in becoming a Buddy for our Bambino Buddy-Ball athletes. The suggested age for our Buddies is 12 years or older and a MARA member is a bonus but not a must!
Commitment:
It is preferred that all Buddies do their best to attend all of the games and show up with enthusiasm and in uniform. The program will consist of 6-8 Sundays.
When:
Season will begin in early March. Each sessions will begin at 2:00 pm and last about 60-75 minutes. Buddies will assist with set-up and clean-up afterwards so it’s approximately a 2 hour commitment each Sunday. Arrival time is 1:45 pm.
Where:
MARA, Arthur Goodman Memorial Park, Field #8
Why:
Bambino Buddy-Ball aims to help our kids learn baseball skills and how to play the game while experiencing the thrill of team play and camaraderie. Becoming a Buddy is a great way to get involved in the community and it counts as community service hours for school or scout requirements (if needed).
Experience:
No experience is necessary. All you need is a positive attitude, a big smile and a little knowledge of baseball. We will provide the mandatory training prior to the start of the program for all volunteers. A uniform will also be provided for all Buddies.
Registration does not guarantee that you will be a buddy. It depends on the number of player participants that sign up. We will confirm your status in early March. We always need back-up Buddies as well! The number of sessions you can attend will get priority.
