What is Baseball?
Baseball is characterized by two teams of nine players playing on a diamond shaped field with a bat, ball and glove. There are three bases and a home plate. A pitcher throws a fist sized ball at a batter who then strikes the ball into the field and proceeds to run the bases trying to reach home plate to score a run.
Volunteering
All parents will be asked to volunteer throughout the season. Parents can sign up to be a coach, assistant coach, or manager. If you will not be in one of those positions, parents will be asked to volunteer to score keep, umpire, take care of the equipment, help set up the diamonds for play, etc. The manager will help coordinate these tasks at a team level.
Coaches / Assistant Coaches / Managers
All are parents and volunteers from the players on the team from our community. See details in PMBA Constitution
