Help us make Whitaker's Wish Come True!

Four-year-old Whitaker from Alexandria, VA has bravely battled cancer and is currently waiting for his wish. Whitaker absolutely loves going to the Woodbine tot lot across the street from his house. It’s his favorite place! He spends time there every day and is constantly asking his parents when he will get to go back to play and see his friends.

Whitaker has asked for a truly selfless wish: to renovate his city’s playground and add some special items to make the tot lot extra special for himself and all of his neighborhood friends. The Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Activities is generously offering a $25,000 challenge grant, and we are launching a fundraising campaign in an effort to match these funds.

Coach Walter White is working with Mayor Wilson to raise funds to help make Whitaker's wish come true.

Alexandria Little League (ALL) is a 100% volunteer-run organization directly operated by families and individuals in our community.   ALL is not run or operated by the City of Alexandria. Without volunteers there is no ALL for children ages 8-16 in the City of Alexandria.

All parents and guardians of players will be asked to support the league by participating in one of the many volunteer opportunities throughout the course of the season. From time to time, you’ll receive email requests to volunteer for the opportunities below. 

January Tryouts : 

• Registration, Merchandise sales, traffic flow of players on-field and other on-site volunteers.
• The registration volunteers will support the entrance desk by registering all players and providing try-out shirt numbers.
• Merchandise volunteers will support the event by helping to selling ALL logo apparel.
• Traffic flow volunteers will help to direct players to the appropriate stations during the try-outs.
• There are a number of other volunteers needed during the try-out event to help make for a successful event.

Concession Stand Volunteer at Little Simpson Field:

• The ALL concession stand at Little Simpson Field is the most significant means of generating revenue for the organization throughout the season. Volunteers are needed during all hours of the games played at the field and requested to work in two-hour shift increments.
• The shift includes opening the stand/closing (if working either the first or last shift of the day), tidying up the counters, selling items to patrons, and restocking items from the pantry as they low on the counter, refrigerator, or freezer.
• It is recommended that all families that have a youth involved in ALL, take at least one shift during the season.

Special event volunteer:

• Opening ceremonies or  fundraising gala event volunteers. Special event volunteers will support the organization in a number of positions including:
  • Opening day ceremony: There are a number of volunteers needed to help make opening day a successful event including coordinating teams for the field ceremonies, selling merchandise, running the concession stand, hanging sponsor banners, preparing the fields, and many others.

Assistant coaches/team practice volunteers:

• Assistant coaches and team practice volunteers will support the manager with all practices and games. All volunteers working with ALL youth, will need to have an approved background check.  

Game day operations:

• Game day coordinators serve in a meaningful role to help make each game run smoothly and efficiently.
• Adult game coordinators:  It is recommended that each team from AA and AAA have two Adult Game Coordinators to help the umpire in case of unsportsmanlike conduct. A background check is needed for this position.
• Pitch counters: A volunteer is needed to help count the pitches for each team and provide the statistics to the coach.
• Scoreboard operator:  A volunteer is needed to run the electronic scoreboard during the duration of the game. At the moment, Little Simpson is the only field that needs this position filled.
• Scorekeeper: A volunteer is needed to run the books during each game to keep an accurate account of the game plays/runs. The book will be given the coach at the end of each game.

Team parent: 

• Team parents will help the manager to send various communication throughout the season, organize the team basket for the fundraiser gala, and serve as a point of contact for any questions about any of the volunteer positions.
