Here are the full details of the program:
The concession stand at Billericay Park is a vital fundraiser for baseball. It provides us with a large percentage of the money we use to continue making improvements to ALL of the parks within our program, and assists in keeping our registration fees to a minimum. We have always felt it is important to keep concession prices as low as possible. One way to achieve this is to limit the number of paid employees. In the past, we have asked the parents to work concessions with varying degrees of success from a participation standpoint. In 2005, we were forced to spend a substantial portion of our proceeds on employing people to replace those volunteers who did not arrive for their shift. We understand that there are differing opinions amongst all of you concerning the need for parents to volunteer; some actually enjoy it, while others would prefer to simply watch the game. We agree with both sides of thought, so with that in mind, we are giving you a choice. HSE Youth Baseball has implemented a concessions deposit program.
The concessions deposit is just that, a DEPOSIT, to which each family will have two options. One, volunteer to earn the entire amount back, or two, donate it to cover the cost of employing local teenagers to work in their place. This deposit will only be required of those parents with BASEBALL (not softball) players between the grades of 3 though 7, as they are the only ones who play at Billericay. Here’s how it works: >The deposit is $35 for each baseball player between the grades of 3 through 7, there is a maximum deposit of $70 for 2 children or more.
> Deposit checks will be required at registration. A separate check must be written independent of registration fees.
> Each family has the opportunity to earn back the full deposit by volunteering to work two – 2 hour shifts (4 hrs. total) in the concession stand for each child in grades 3 through 7. The maximum is 8 total hours for families with multiple children within this age group. The volunteer must be an adult.T
> Those families choosing to volunteer must register the dates they would like to work no later than April 20, 2008. This should give everyone 2 to 3 weeks to review their child’s schedule and make a determination. Choosing your dates is done easily by clicking the Volunteer Calendar tab under Concessions. Baseball will respond via e-mail confirming your dates & times. Parents are NOT required to work a shift that coincides with their child’s game and Saturday and Sunday shifts are available. Rainouts will NOT be required to be rescheduled and will count as a shift worked.
> At the end of the 2nd – 2 hour shift, the family will receive their un-cashed deposit check back.
> Those families choosing not to work concessions will have their checks cashed the first week of the season. This money will go to help pay their replacements. We are very excited about this program as it provides a win, win for everyone. Those who chose to volunteer pay nothing and those who would prefer not to work concessions are no longer required to do so. This is something several other area programs have incorporated into their leagues and all view it as a resounding success. Anyone with questions is welcome to inquire at
