Atwater Youth Baseball, Softball, & Teeball is always looking for help from within the community and the parents/relatives of our fine young athletes! We started many, many years ago as just a little league here in Atwater and have grown to serve hundreds and hundreds of children every year. That is why every year we accept nominations for various league board positions. These positions carry various responsibilities, but without them our league could not operate as it does today. If you feel you or someone you know might be a candidate for one of these please contact us using the contact us page provided on the menu. Please note that all positions are strictly volunteer positions and are not paid. Remember that even though you may not be on the board we are always looking for help and volunteers for our special activities and events that we plan for our children, so just send us a note if you think you would like to be of help at any one or all of these events.

p.s. When you see one of the board members and/or volunteers at meetings, special events or at the games make sure to let them know how much we all appreciate all of their time and efforts and I am sure they will be grateful and it will probably help make everyone's day brighter.
