Snack Bar Information
Canyon Lake Little League is a non-profit, all-volunteer, youth baseball organization. Our snack bar is one of the most important parts of our community and is our primary source of fundraising for our league. This is the reason we ask you to volunteer shifts in the snack bar. However, the snack bar only works if we have every family taking care of their shift.
How It Works
Each family is required to work up to 4 snack bar shift(s) per child they have in the league each season.
Canyon Lake Little League offers two options for your snack bar obligation which include the BUY OUT PROGRAM or WORKING YOUR SHIFTS YOURSELF.
OPTION 1: BUY OUT PROGRAM
If you do not want to be held responsible for working snack bar shifts during a season, a $150 snack bar buyout option is available for each player. The $150 will be non-refundable and guarantees that you will be released from any snack bar obligations throughout that season.
OPTION 2: WORKING YOUR SNACK BAR SHIFTS YOURSELF:
If you do not choose the snack bar buyout option, you will be assigned snack bar shifts in which you will be responsible for.
- A $100 deposit check will be collected prior to opening day. This check will ONLY be cashed if you do not show up for an assigned snack bar shifts.
- The shifts that you are assigned MUST be worked by an adult 18 years of age or older. Parents, please DO NOT send your teenager to cover your shifts.
- If you or the person you have lined up to cover your shift fails to show up for your assigned shift, we will be forced to cash your $100 snack bar deposit check within 24 hours without notice.
- The average shift is 3 hours.
- During your shift, your duties may include setting up, preparing food (including barbecuing), sales, restocking, sweeping, mopping, and general cleaning.
- You may not bring your children into the snack bar. Please make childcare arrangements for them if needed.
Deposit Check Details
A $100 snack bar shift promissory deposit check, one check per child you have in the league (max two $100 checks), is required before your child has their uniform issued...checks ONLY, no cashier checks, money orders, or credit cards accepted. Check should be written out to Canyon Lake Little League or CLLL. This check is not deposited but held as a promise to work the snack bar. Check is shredded after the season is over if you fulfilled your snack bar obligation. The check will be cashed immediately if you fail to get approved coverage for your shift(s) or do not show up.
Exception: With Snack Bar Manager approval, cash will be accepted only if there is no option by the player's family to provide a deposit check. If cash is given as your snack bar deposit, it is YOUR responsibility to request your refund from the snack bar manager within 48 hours of our final game of the season - ANY CASH refund not requested during those 48 hours will be forfeited and is considered a donation to our league and cannot be rolled to the next season. If submitting a cash deposit, you need to sign the deposit document agreeing to the terms stated above.
Shift Time
We try our best to open the snack bar 15 minutes before game time so that players, coaches, and umpires can get anything they need so please arrive for your shift on time.
Please sign your name next to your shift on the Sign-in In Sheet. You must stay for the duration of your entire shift, or your check will be cashed.
Snack Bar Tickets
This is a great alternative to providing a team snack. We offer snack bar tickets for $3.50 each. These can be used for a Hot Dog and capri sun and/or a water or just a slushie. No cash value. No cash back. No substitutions.
