North Forsyth Little League: About Us

Serving Northern Forsyth County, NC, North Forsyth Little League has been a chartered entity of Little League Baseball, Inc., headquartered in Williamsport, PA, since 1965. We celebrated our 40th birthday January 2005.

As an organization, we are committed to teaching the kids the skills necessary to excel as a baseball or softball player, as well as teaching them good sportsmanship, responsibility, the discipline of teamwork and the importance of fair play. Many of our coaches played high school and/or college baseball. They are all students of the game and are dedicated to ensuring that the kids have fun while at the same time improving his/her skills.

Many of our former players and current players have gone on to play middle school and high school baseball or softball for schools in our area.

We play a competitive brand of baseball and softball. We make no apologies or excuses for that as we all know that life itself is a competitive game. The level of competitiveness, however, takes into consideration our kids and "Win at any cost" is strictly against our philosophy. The kids always come first. We expect that each of you will set the example of good sportsmanship and fair play for our players. We ask that you do not heckle our umpires, coaches or players. Such things as yelling "swing" or "he can't hit" to an opposing batter are not acceptable and won't be tolerated. A good play or hit on the part of the opposing team is just as deserving of your applause as is a good play or hit on the part of your player's team. And, believe it our not, the umpire has a much better view of the strike zone than you do from the bleachers!

Please check our web site frequently as we have found it to be the most effective and efficient way to communicate with everyone.

Thank you for your interest in and support of NFLL. We hope that both you and your player will have an exciting and fun-filled experience!

Why Should I Become a Volunteer?
Little League Baseball and Softball is an organization designed to build good citizens. It is a program of leadership, preparing today's youth to be tomorrow's leaders. At the local level, Little League relies on a devoted legion of adult volunteers to help ensure that the organization remains structured and runs smoothly. Your local Little League program is always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support and coordinate Little League events and activities. As a volunteer, you should have a keen interest in the safety, well-being, and overall development of children. By reading further, you will discover that the benefits of volunteering are endless. You will also gain a better understanding of why you should become involved, who volunteers are, what you can do, and how you can sign up.

Who Can Volunteer?
Anyone can apply to become a volunteer. Whatever talents or skills you have, we can use them! Across the country, volunteers are grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, retirees, community leaders, former Little Leaguers, friends, neighbors, and more. Any community member who wishes to become a volunteer may apply.

All parents of children involved in Little League Baseball and Softball are strongly encouraged to volunteer. As a parent, volunteer, you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your child in a safe, fun-filled environment. Oftentimes, parent and child social lives parallel each other. Volunteering allows your life and your child's life to intersect on common ground, with shared interests and goals.

On rare occasions, Little League, through District Administrators and your local Board of Directors, may deny individuals the privilege of volunteering for reasons, past or present, that may be detrimental to the positive development of young people, other volunteers, and/or Little League International. When you apply to become a volunteer, you give the local Little League organization the right to conduct necessary background checks.

How Do I Become A Volunteer?
Parents, take a minute to fill out the volunteer form while registering your child. If you are not a parent and would like to volunteer, take a minute to fill out the form while visiting your local registration location. A Volunteer form is located on the handouts page.

What Can I Volunteer To Do?
No experience is required to become a volunteer. Most of the volunteer opportunities require little or no training. Your local league will provide you with any necessary training (as well as support and encouragement), as they deem necessary. The best volunteers are those who are able to bring added enjoyment to the game simply be being themselves. What you see during Little League games is a mere fraction of what you can do as a volunteer. You can volunteer to help in virtually any aspect of Little League Baseball or Softball.

Listed below are some common volunteer opportunities with local leagues. Keep in mind that these are general descriptions and will vary depending on the needs of your local league. In addition, other positions may be available. Please consult with your local league president on how to best use your talents and skills to help provide your kids the best Little League experience possible.

Being a Team Manager or Coach
Being a manager or coach requires time, patience, and basic knowledge of the game of baseball. You may be required to attend meetings, instructional sessions, or seminars. You will communicate with the parents/guardians of your players to inform them of any schedule changes, rainouts, and Little League events and activities. As a manager or coach, you have more interaction with young people than anyone else in Little League. Therefore, it is important that you understand the goals and virtues of the Little League program in order to effectively communicate them to your players. To gain a better understanding of what those goals and virtues are, speak with your league's president.

Helping with Field Maintenance
In some cases, your local Little League is required to maintain the fields that your child plays on. As a part of the field maintenance crew, your skills and abilities may be used to mow grass, line fields, rake dirt, and execute minor repairs on fences, benches and bleachers.
