Volunteer Opportunities – OVPB

Step up to the plate! ⚾

Orangevale Pony Baseball (OVPB) is an all-volunteer, non-profit league. Family involvement is the backbone of our success and the key to building a strong community.

To encourage participation, OVPB has a Volunteer Hour Program:

  • Each family is required to complete 8 hours of service per registered player.
  • Families may choose to buy out their hours, but your time and commitment to the league are worth far more than money!

Below are the many ways you can contribute to our league and help make the season a home run:
