BYL is powered by families and coaches who dedicate their time and talents to our BYL community. We love volunteers so please give us a shout if you want to become involved! Here are some ways to support BYL:
Coaching staff
We are always looking for great coaches! While experience helps, it is not required. We love coaches that like to have fun with the kids and foster a positive and structured team environment. The time investment varies by team, but coaches often allot 5-10 hours a week for planning, practices, and games. Experienced lacrosse players/coaches will be available to assist volunteer coaches and provide practice plans. If you are interested in coaching, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Team manager
BYL assigns a team manager to every team to help communicate with the parents and create team camaraderie whether that is arranging for snacks, photos or parties!
Other Volunteer Opportunities
As we get ready to kick off the spring season, we will activate a sign-up genius page where you can register for one or more activities, including:
- Time and score keeper during games
- Game day field marshal for home games (set up score table, greet and advise the visiting team and officials, provide guidance to time/score and penalty keepers upon arrival, coordinate post-game field clean-up by players)
- Barrington Lacrosse Night assistance (see our Events tab)
- End-of-season event assistance
- Fundraising
We are able to offer volunteer credit hours to BHS students.
Photographers
If you are great at capturing special moments, we would love your help! We need assistance with photography at all team levels so that we can document the season and showcase our players and their talents kids on this website and our social media. We also use this content to create an end of season video. Please
email us
your best game photos and short video clips to include on our website and
social media.
Sponsors
While player registration fees fund a
portion of our operating budget, we heavily rely on income from sponsors and
fundraising activities. If you or someone you know
would like to make a tax-deductible corporate/individual donation (monetary or
in-kind),
please contact us! We will also list our sponsor in the Sponsors page! BYL is a tax-exempt organization with 501(c)(3) status.
