Q: Are there paid positions with Butler Youth Baseball leadership?
A: Butler Youth Baseball is a 100% volunteer run organization, including its board of directors.
We rely on the efforts of all parents/guardians of players to help make baseball available to all youth. There are lots of ways to help beyond coaching or assisting with coaching a team. To find out what you can do to help out, please ask your son/daughters coach. Keeping score, raking fields, setting up fields, and emptying trash cans are all jobs that need done, coaches are always looking for extra hands.
