Thanks to your continued support, we’re able to have more seasons, more sports, more people and more fun.

This may come as a shocker, but BAD! does not run itself! We are a non-profit organization and rely on volunteers to make sure there are always dodgeballs in the cage, lanes to bowl on and kickball shirts ordered (in the right size). We are always in need of passionate, creative and responsible individuals to help run the leagues. This is where you come in…

We are looking for DODGEBALL, KICKBALL and BOWLING members to keep the BAD! organization running strong. Here’s a snippet of what we do:

  • Work with local sponsors
  • Keep the website fresh
  • Player registration
  • Manage vendor relationships
  • Marketing for events/seasons
  • Write press releases
  • Plan parties
  • Organize presence in Pride March
  • Manage refs/rules
  • Order equipment
  • Fundraising for charity
  • Business development and strategy

If you want to get involved and share your expertise (or learn more about how we operate), we would love to have you join the Committee and/or the Board.

How it Works

Any member of the organization can join the Committee. Once you serve on the Committee for ONE season, you may run for a position on the General Board. Once you have served on the General Board for ONE season, you may run for a position on the Executive Board. Active Committee members vote for the General Board; the General Board (only) votes for the Executive Board.

Learn more about how the Board is organized and see meeting minutes here.

Thanks for taking the time to give a read, and please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
