Help us create a great baseball experience for the kids!

There are many ways to get involved with Glen Ellyn Youth Baseball...

Kid with Dad

Glen Ellyn Baseball does not run itself. It is comprised of the community and its volunteers dedicating their time and efforts to progress children athletics and teach the great game of baseball. Volunteers range from:

• Managers

• Coaches 

• League Commissioners 

• Executive Board Members

• Associate Board Members

• Committee Members

• Team Moms

and so on...

There are so many opportunities to help out. Coaching is just the start. We need your help in fundraising, scheduling, special events, uniforms, photography and so much more! If you have a specific skill we have a spot to utilize that talent. Contact us today.

Thanks for giving your time! 

 

If you are interested in coaching please fill out this form. You will be contacted regarding the interview process which will take place in early February.
