LMYB Advisory Board

LMYB is affiliated with but not part of the Linn-Mar School District.

LMYB’s affairs are managed by a separate Advisory Board responsible for overall policy and direction to implement the organization’s mission of providing an opportunity for students in the Linn-Mar School District, or children of employees of the Linn-Mar School District, to play competitive baseball and prepare and develop for the high school baseball program.

The Board is comprised of members serving voluntarily, contributing considerable time in addition to other commitments. Most have full time jobs, family commitments, kids engaged in multiple activities, and coach or assist with LMYB teams as well. The LMYB Advisory Board has no paid staff.

LMYB Advisory Board Responsibilities:

• Identifying and screening candidates, and filling coaching vacancies
• Coach and player development
• Player registration, tryouts, and team formation
• Indoor and outdoor facility arrangements, enhancements, and maintenance
• Indoor and outdoor practice scheduling and coordination
• Equipment inventory, maintenance, and purchase
• Coach and parent communications
• Sponsors and potential sponsors communications
• School District collaboration and communication
• Website, X, and Facebook updates
• Apparel store logistics, support, and oversight
• Tournament logistics, support, and oversight
• Fundraiser logistics, support, and oversight
• Fiscal management and oversight of revenues and expenses

With 400 kids playing LMYB on nearly 40 teams and around 800 engaged parents / guardians, serving on the Board is a challenging commitment, yet very rewarding in support of “the love of the game and the joy of youth.”
