Hello NYBA Families!

NYBA is a 100% volunteer run organization and every family's commitment is essential to our program’s success. The NYBA requires a commitment of 5 credits of volunteer work (DIBS) per household.

A $300 check was collected at tryouts (for travel players) or at uniform handout (in-house players). Once hours are completed, those checks will be destroyed.

All volunteer hours will be listed under the DIBS tab on the NYBA web page.  
NOTE: You must be signed in to the SportsEngine account used to register your child for the 2025 Season.

DIBS hours will be added throughout the season and there will be many opportunities to fulfill your hours.

Upon arrival at the fields for your DIBS hours, check in at the concession stand with the field staff to sign in (sign-in sheet is on the magnetic board) to make sure you get credit for your time.

DIBS TASKS

Concessions - working in the concession stand selling items such hot dogs, pizza, drinks, candy, etc. Handling money and making change. Field supervisors will help with start-up and shut-down of the stand.

Field Set Up/Take Down - Field Set Up can include things such as putting in bases, putting equipment (helmets/catchers gear) in dugouts, removing tarps, painting lines, raking fields, pitching machine set up, etc. Field Take Down would include raking the fields, putting tarps down and putting equipment away. Field supervisors will be on hand to guide you, as needed.

Scoreboard - run the game scoreboard. This is a great job for a parent who has a child playing. Complete your credits while you watch the game! Pick up the scoreboard remote at the concession stand before your shift.

ADDITIONAL DIBS OPPORTUNITIES (most of these will be posted later in the season)

Raider Classic Tournament (June 20-22) - help with various duties such as fields, concessions, scoreboards, etc during this Travel tournament.

Rookies Skills Competition (June) - tasks will include sign in and station help during the Rookies skills competition.

Thank you in advance for your help in making this season a great one!

NYBA requires a commitment of 5 total volunteer hours per HOUSEHOLD during the season.

Prior to participating in tryouts/evaluations for Travel Teams or prior to the start of the season for all younger leagues, families are required to provide a check for $300 check that will be held during the season.  

If at the end of the season the household has completed the required volunteer hours, their check will be destroyed.

If a household's volunteer requirement has NOT  been completed in full by the end of the NYBA season, their check will be deposited into the NYBA account.

Please note, if a deposited check does not have sufficient funds when it is deposited a return fee will be invoiced to the member and/or applied to future registrations.

Volunteering is essential to any youth organization and we strongly encourage you to be involved in helping to make the season a successful one for our kids.  However, if you think your household will not be able to fulfill the DIBs requirement, we offer a buyout option. 

To participate in the buyout option:

- A $250 buyout check is due at tryouts/evaluations or prior to the season. The buyout checks will be deposited at the time of receipt prior to the start of the season.

DIBS Exemptions:

Households of rostered coaches (only 4 per team), board members and travel team managers will be exempt from the required hours associated with DIBs.

DIBs hours will be posted on our website under the DIBs tab as they become available.

To claim tasks, you must be signed in to the same Sportsengine account as your baseball registration.
