Baseball Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner Needed


JPYO is losing a couple of MVP's this year.  Unfortunately, the 2008 season was the last for Bill Kramer and Jim Odom.  They have decided to move on to other projects and will not be returning next year for the 2009 baseball season.  The good news is, now is your chance to get involved!  JPYO is currently seeking enthusiastic and energetic individuals to fill these positions.  Some of the duties you will coordinate, in cooperation with one or more Assistant Commissioners, include:
  • Accepting registrations

  • Assigning players to teams

  • Recruiting coaches and assistant coaches

  • Soliciting team sponsors

  • Setting the game schedules for the clinic leagues

  • Check inventory and purchase needed equipment

  • Supervise the conditions of the fields

  • Coordinate and/or oversee a fundraiser (if needed)

  • Order team uniforms/shirts (and distribute)

Unfortunately, these are not paying positions; however, registration fees for every JPYO sport (baseball, basketball, and soccer) are covered by JPYO for all Board members, including Commissioners.

If you’re interested in the position of Baseball Commissioner, or Assistant Commissioner, or even would like to help with any one of the items listed above, please contact Dave Cope, JPYO President, at president@jpyo.com or 443-324-6434.

What is BlastBall!®?
BlastBall!® is meant to put FUN back into the game of baseball.  It is designed to generate fast-paced action, provide recreation and exercise, create enthusiasm and through simplicity, allow retention of youth participants in the game.  The game is played with a foam bat and foam ball hit from a tee.  Players run to a base that HONKS!  The emphasis is on team play and fun.  BlastBall!® teaches all five basic fundamentals of baseball and softball... hitting, throwing, catching, running and fielding.  It is also just a ton of fun with fast and continuous action and simple rules.  For more information, go to the BlastBall!® website.
