Don’t let next year’s registration surprise you without a work bond voucher number!  Our work bond is established to encourage families to put in the small amount of time required – it’s critical to the operation of our all-volunteer league.  During the season, most families work in various support roles, and opportunities will be publicized on the website. 

 

Here’s how it works: (1) you paid your bond for spring registration; (2) from now through June, work your 4 hour shift; (3) in the fall you’ll get a voucher number so your work bond is waived at next year’s registration. 
 

You will most likely hear from your spring team manager about Concession work options, but you can also contact , our Auxiliary Manager, to sign up proactively for other options.
 

Please consider putting in your time now to fulfill your work bond responsibility for the 2009 Rec Season (this does not apply to the tournament work bond).) Contact  with the date and/or assignment you'd like to work.  We are always updating this chart, so check back often...times are approximate, and will change slightly around the event times.  Shifts will all run about 4 hours.  If you are interested in doing admin work either on the website (up to 8 hours work), or computer work, please contact .

All families, with the exception of those with children in the T-ball or the 16-18 yr old Babe Ruth program without siblings in other leagues, are required to pay a $100.00 work bond when registering with the league.  Each family is asked to work an estimated 4 hours in Auxiliary service to Bridgewater Baseball/Softball during the year, or 8 hours if you choose a flex time/admin option.  If your family obligation has been completed, a voucher number will be issued, and it will be included on the registration form which is sent to your mailing address for the following year.  Each year that your work bond is fulfilled, that $100 work bond fee will carry forward, and will be waived during registration.  Jobs include concessions, tryouts, clinics, sportswear sales, opening day, tournaments & the annual golf outing, among others.  If this is your last year in our program, you may request a refund by sending a note to our Treasurer.

If you are approved as a Manager or Coach on a team, your auxiliary hours will be fulfilled.  Coaches & Managers are selected by seniority, experience and feedback from league Commissioners and the entire league.  Please note that all members of the league, including Board Members, must fulfill auxiliary time, either through coaching or other responsibilities.  The number of coaches who receive work bond credit varies by season:

 

Season	Manager	# Additional Coaches
Spring Rec	1	2
Summer Rec	1	1
Summer Tournament	does not qualify for Rec work bond credit	does not qualify for Rec work bond credit
Fall Ball	1	1

If you choose the not to participate in the auxiliary program and fulfill the 4 hour work bond requirement, your $100.00 work bond will be forfeited. Any questions about the Auxiliary Program can be directed to Diane Bellinger at . Thank you for supporting our league!
