FNLL has been serving Frederick since 1951. As a completely volunteer run 501(c)(3) business [EIN: 52-1651720], we depend on volunteers. All of our coaches, officers, and board members are volunteers. We’re also supported by an army of parent volunteers. Some of our sponsors and other organizations looking for volunteer hours help supplement our parents' volunteer hours. This allows our parents to be present during their kids’ games instead of having to work the concession stand. Volunteer umpires are also desperately needed. Nationally Little League is struggling to find volunteer umpires. If we were to have to move to paid umpires, it would price out lower income groups. We will pay to train any volunteer umpire and pay for their gear.
