Who runs the Ben Davis Little League®?
BDLL is 100% volunteer run. We have an active volunteer board of directors who set the direction of the league and oversee the general management of the organization. That said, the organization belongs to all of us - the kids and parents! Coaches, umpires, team parents, field maintenance, concessions, and sponsorship volunteers are always in need! We couldn't provide the excellent quality experience that BDLL is known for without committed parent engagement. Little League® provides training to coaches and umpires. Bring us your skills, ideas, and interests!
Contact our board president, Mike Walker, or player agent, Pam Ortiz, for information on how to get involved!
If we registered and paid, but decide we want a refund back, what is the policy?
If refunds are requested before a draft, 100% refund will be given. Once the draft has taken place and uniform orders have been placed, the amount of refund will be at the board discretion based upon the circumstances for the withdraw from the season.
