Calling All Volunteers!
Just as with other community sports programs, the success of Thousand Oaks Little League is directly tied to parental involvement.
TOLL is an all-volunteer program where our kids can learn, play and compete with other youths with similar interests and is dependent on all parents participating and making a contribution toward the accomplishment of the League's goals.
Parent participation is necessary and essential to the success of the program. All parents must volunteer some time during the season. Parent participation may take many forms.
There are many volunteer opportunities available such as coaching, scorekeeping, umpiring, acting as the team parent, or helping with field preparation, maintenance and clean-up.
There are additional opportunities to volunteer by helping with one of our annual activities such as the Opening Day Ceremonies, the Golf Tournament, the Over-the-Line Tournament, or you can sponsor a team by making a monetary contribution.
When your team's coach or team parent approaches you to volunteer some of your time to the success of your team and the League, please do so enthusiastically - and keep in mind that without our parent volunteers the League could not exist.
Coach a Team
This year we will need over 120 Coaches to conduct the TOLL program. Coaches are the heart of the Little League program.
If you have the energy, patience and time to coach a team, we would like to hear from you. Please call or email the Division VP for the Division you are interested in. Names, phone numbers and email addresses of the Division VPs are listed under "Board of Directors" on the main menu and on the inside of the back cover of the Green Book that you received at Registration.
It is preferable that coaches have some experience, but that is a luxury we are often denied. You do not have to have played the game of baseball itself, or even be a "student of the game" to become an effective manager. If you work at both teaching and learning, and you can relate well to children and youths, you can do the job and we look forward to hearing from you.
There will be a mandatory Coaches Clinic on TBD at the Colina Fields.
The clinic is designed to help coaches teach the fundamentals of baseball and will help them set up and run practices and games. The Clinic is designed for coaches from all Divisions.
Coaches, just like all volunteers that spend time with our players, are required to submit to a background check.
You can download a copy of the Volunteer Application here.
