The Canadian National Oldtimers Baseball Federation will hold its national championships in Yarmouth July 31 to Aug. 3.
The host committee says a good number of volunteers will be needed to put on the tournament.
“There is plenty of work to do when you have over 30 baseball teams and their families coming to Yarmouth from across Canada for a summertime weekend of ball, a banquet, ceremonies and spare time to enjoy local tourist activities,” says a media release issued in advance of the April 18 session at the Grand Hotel.
“A small army of volunteers is needed” for this summer’s tournament, the host committee says.
Yarmouth last hosted the national event in 2009 and has had it three times all told.
“Yarmouth really hit it out of the park the past three times we hosted,” the release says, “and the support of our local volunteers played a major league role in this success.”
For this year’s tournament, volunteers will be needed for things like field coordination, information and hospitality, opening ceremonies, banquet, scorekeeping and more.
