Volunteering

In the last 5 years our association has grown from approximately 150 players to over 400 but the number of volunteers on our board and across our teams has not changed.  Unfortunately, this has put tremendous pressure on our limited number of volunteers and they have not been able to keep up with the demands of running a larger organization.  We came very close to not being able to field teams in some of the divisions due to the lack of coaches and assistants, and some of our fields are starting to fall into disrepair due to a lack of volunteers.  In order to maintain a high level of play and fun for our players we need to spread the work across everyone who is involved.  We are asking that everyone participate in the operation of the league through the volunteer commitment and deposit.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee sets the overall objectives and does the yearly planning for FHLL.  The executive committee meets approximately 3 times per year plus members carry out various duties through out the season and off season depending on their specific role.

Head Coach

Head Coaches take on the important role of skill development and on field team management.  Coaches are the most important role within our organization and without them we can not field teams.

Assistant Coach

Assistant coaches help the head coach in the skill development of the players at practice and games.
