Little League® has announced the official pairings for the 2022 Volunteer Team Hosts who will support the teams during the 75th Anniversary of the Little League Baseball® World Series this August.
The primary focus of the Little League Baseball World Series is placed squarely on the experience of the players from the 20 teams that come to South Williamsport, and it is up to the volunteer team hosts and utility hosts to make sure those players have a Little League experience that lasts a lifetime. Two team hosts are responsible for ensuring that each team is on time for games and practices, arranging their team’s uniform fittings, helping with the coordination of the media activities, and making sure that many other daily tasks go smoothly for the players, coaches, and managers. The utility hosts assist in all other day-to-day activities. Throughout the course of their time in Williamsport, the hosts forge a lasting bond with their players, coaches, and managers over the course of the Little League Baseball World Series, and many stay in touch after the World Series is over.
Earlier this summer, on June 13, the official team designations for the 2022 Little League Baseball World Series were randomly drawn by a group of volunteer team hosts prior to the 28th Little League International Congress Chairman’s Celebration.
