🦅 Behind the J-Hawks: Meet Dan

Equipment Manager | 1st Year on the J-Hawks/JAYBA Board | 4th Year Coaching with the J-Hawks

Dan has been part of the J-Hawks family for four years as a coach, after previously coaching with the JAYBA program for several seasons. This year, he took on another role behind the scenes by joining the board as our Equipment Manager.

So, what does an Equipment Manager do? Quite a bit! ⚾
Dan organizes team equipment bags for the program, orders game baseballs for all age levels, and makes sure new player gear bags are ordered and ready to go.

Why does he volunteer?
"I love coaching youth sports because I believe it teaches kids teamwork, discipline, work ethic, and how to be good leaders."

And his commitment to youth sports doesn't stop with baseball. He's also been coaching youth football with the Grafton Gladiators for 14 years!

Fun fact: When he's not coaching, you'll probably find him enjoying the outdoors, riding his motorcycle, fishing, hunting, or traveling.

We're grateful for the time and experience Dan brings to the J-Hawks and for everything he does both on the field and behind the scenes!

🦅 Behind the J-Hawks: Meet Alissa

Marketing Director | 1 year on the board | Going on my 3rd year with the J-Hawks

Ever wonder who is behind all those J-Hawks Facebook and Instagram posts? 👋 That would be me!

As Marketing Director, I help tell the story of J-Hawks Baseball with highlighting our teams, players, coaches, accomplishments, and the moments that make this organization special. From game photos and team highlights to tryout promotions, sponsor spotlights, and community events, my goal is to showcase what J-Hawks Baseball is all about both on and off the field.

Why do I volunteer?
I love spreading the good news about our teams and giving our players the recognition they deserve. There are so many great moments happening throughout the season, and I enjoy finding ways to share them with our families and the community.

Fun fact: I went to college for marketing, but I don't actually work in the marketing field! 😂 Volunteering with the J-Hawks gives me a fun outlet to tap back into that part of my interests and put some of those skills to use!

I'm proud to be part of the team behind the teams and excited to continue helping tell the J-Hawks story! ⚾🦅

🦅 Behind the J-Hawks: Meet Monica

Website Manager | 1 Year on the JAYBA/J-Hawks Board | 5 Years with the J-Hawks

The J-Hawks are powered by a lot of behind-the-scenes work, and Monica is one of the people helping keep things running! As Website Manager, Monica manages the website and handles registration behind the scenes.

Monica's family joined the J-Hawks five years ago when their son was in U11, and they're heading into U16 this year!

Why does Monica volunteer?
For Monica's family, volunteering has truly become a family affair. Her two boys play and help out at the fields, her daughter has worked, and even ran, the concession stand, and her husband has coached and held several board positions.

"I love spending time with them and creating the opportunities for other families to also enjoy baseball together as we have."

Fun fact: When she's not at the ball fields, Monica enjoys camping and road trips!

We're grateful for the Chatfield family's years of involvement and for everything Monica does behind the scenes to help everything run smoothly!

🦅 Behind the J-Hawks: Meet Chris

Uniform Coordinator | 1st Year on the J-Hawks/JAYBA Board | 3rd Year with the J-Hawks

Someone has to make sure the J-Hawks look good and that's where Chris comes in!

As Uniform Coordinator, Chris manages the ordering of uniforms for all of our teams, coordinates team apparel sales, and helps make sure our players are looking their best in their J-Hawks gear.

Why does Chris volunteer?
Well... let's just say his love of baseball apparel runs deep. 😂 Chris is an avid collector of baseball team hats, with a collection of 60+ hats from Major and Minor League teams across the country. He's also a big fan of the classic throwback powder-blue uniforms, so who knows what kind of J-Hawks style inspiration he might bring our way next season! 👀

Fun fact: Whenever Chris travels somewhere, he makes it a priority to visit a Major or Minor League ballpark, whether it's catching a game, taking a tour, or stopping by the team store. Basically, if there's a baseball stadium nearby, Chris is probably finding a way to get there. ⚾🧢

We're grateful for the time and attention Chris puts into making sure our players look and feel like J-Hawks! 🦅❤️💙

🦅 Behind the J-Hawks: Meet Sarah

Sponsorship Chair | 3 Years on the J-Hawks/JAYBA Board

You may not see everything that happens behind the scenes to make JAYBA and J-Hawks Baseball possible, but our board members are working hard year-round to support our players and families.

Sarah has had a son playing with the J-Hawks for the past four years and has served on the board for the past three.

As Sponsorship Chair, Sarah works with local businesses and community partners to develop, secure, and maintain sponsorships that help support our organization. Those partnerships play an important role in providing opportunities and experiences for our players.

Why volunteer?
"My kids' love of baseball is what motivates me to give back. Seeing the joy, friendships, and life lessons they gain from the sport inspires me to help ensure all families have a positive experience in our league."

And when they're not helping support J-Hawks? 🎣 You'll probably find Sarah fishing!
