Question: Can my two daughters be on the same team? Answer: Yes. As long as they qualify for the same age group.
Question: Can we get my daughter’s friend on the same team for carpooling purposes? Answer: The teams are formed by a draft process to ensure fair and equal placement of players among teams. Because of this process, we cannot guarantee her friend will be on the same team. The only exception is in the Instructional Division. In the T-Ball Division we try to group the girls with their classmates to make it a more enjoyable experience for them.
Question: What will I have to purchase when the Season starts? Answer: The league provides a jersey, shorts, and socks as part of your registration fee. The players need to provide their own glove and rubber cleats. The team manager may ask the parents to donate money for team hats/visors, and a banner.
Question: When and where are the games played? Answer: Teams usually have one game during the week and one game on Saturday. T-Ball teams will only have one game a week played on Saturday. All games will be played at Peterson or Pantera Park.
Question: When will the manager call me to start the season? Answer: All players (except Instructional) should attend the skills assessment day on January 25th at Pantera Park. All teams should be formed by the first week in February. Your team manager will contact you as soon as the team has been formed.
Question: What time are games and practices held? Answer: Weekday games will begin at 5:00 p.m. The last weekday game will begin at 7:00 p.m. Saturday game times will begin at 9:00 a.m. Games will continue until approximately 3:00 p.m. Please keep in mind that your manager will want you at the field forty-five minutes to one hour prior to game time so that your daughter is warmed up properly.
Question: What volunteer positions are still needed? Answer: Our league is made up of only volunteers and we could use as much help as you are willing to lend. At the first team meeting, your manager will ask for volunteers to help as team mom, scorekeeper, and snack bar shifts. Please help out and volunteer your time.
Question: Do I have to work in the snack bar? Answer: The snack bar works as a year round fundraiser to help the league. We can’t keep the snack bar open without parent volunteers. Each family will be asked to volunteer a few hours of their time during the season.
Question: Do I have to stay at practices and games? Answer: We strongly encourage parents to attend practices and games. If you must leave, be sure that you are back on time to pick up your daughter. The manager cannot leave the field until he/she makes certain that all players have been picked up. Additionally, an adult female must always be present at practices and games.
Question: Who do I call if I have problems with my manager, uniform, fundraiser, etc.? Answer: You should always try to solve any problems through your team manager first. If he/she does not seem able to resolve your issue, you can contact the Division Representative.
Question: Can I attend DBGS Board Meetings if I am not on the board? Answer: Yes, we encourage anyone to attend. Board meetings are held on the second Monday of each month.
Question: I am a team manager/coach. Can I hold my team practices anywhere I want? Answer: No. You may only practice at the time and place scheduled by Field Coordinator. Our insurance only covers us for fields that are assigned to us by the City of Diamond Bar or the Walnut Valley School District.
