Parent volunteerism has always been a key part of the success of OBA. From coaching and field maintenance, to the snack bar and OBA Board of Directors, the first 30 years of OBA's success is in large part due to parent volunteers. That said, while OBA has experienced tremendous growth over the last few years, our team of volunteers remained small. 

In an effort to sustain the OBA experience for all of Orinda's baseball players and families, OBA is introducing a new volunteer requirement for all OBA families. In doing so we have attempted to make our program fairly simple and straight forward - no point systems, substitutions, etc. Rather, each OBA family (regardless of how many players you have) must fulfill two obligations:

OBA families do have the option to "buy out" of their field day obligation for $150, payable during registration. However, the baseball community obligation is a requirement of all families. OBA Managers/Coaches are automatically exempt from both requirements.

If, at the end of the regular season, both of your volunteer requirements have not been met, the child/children of that family will not be eligible for OBA tournament or post-season teams. While we hope not to have to enforce this, we wish to convey how much we feel OBA needs the help and the commitment. 

Thank You in Advance for your Support!
