Volunteers Overview

WSLL is an all volunteer-run operation and depends on parents stepping up. Each person has unique ways they can help.

​

Coaching and managing are just two ways. Helping coaches and managers before, during, and after games and practices is just as important.

​

But what are the less observable ways to volunteer?
