Become a Volunteer with the PCBS

 The PCBS is in need of additional volunteers within our organization!  We are looking for individuals who are ready to make a positive impact in the community.  You do not have to be a baseball or softball expert.  There are lots of ways you can help. Time commitments from just a few hours a month to positions which require more regular involvement.  Similar to a business we have to maintain operations, inventory, finances, web site, and more.  Lots of ways to make a difference. If you're interested in joining our board, email our secretary at pcbs_secretary@pcbs.fun.  Let them know you'd like to be a volunteer and if there is a particular area of interest.

...It’s another Saturday morning in Palatine...

The players sprint to their positions, coaches post lineups and shout encouragement, and the umpire shouts, “Play Ball,” before the first pitch snaps the leather of the catcher’s mitt.... This same scene plays out hundreds of times from April through October on fields throughout Palatine. We see it so often that it seems automatic and commonplace which means our Volunteers are doing an AMAZING JOB! But it's not EASY by any means…

To get there, it took hundreds of hours of work by volunteers. 

Volunteers who are interested in contributing to their community. Volunteers who recognize the value of learning to win… and to lose. Volunteers who understand cooperation and working as a team. Volunteers who remember the experiences they had on the baseball and softball diamonds of their youth and the friendships that lasted long after they crossed those chalky white lines.
