All local Little Leagues are required to conduct background checks on Managers, Coaches, Board of Directors members and any other persons, volunteers or hired workers, who provide regular service to the league and/or have repetitive access to, or contact with, players or teams. The process involves the volunteer filling out the Little League Volunteer application. Click here for the form. If you cannot open the form, you need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer. Click here

The completed form is then turned in to league officials who will then conduct a nationwide search that contains the applicable government sex offender registry data. (Note: The United States Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Registry is free and available at www.nsopr.gov. Information on conducting a more thorough background check at a nominal cost can be found on the Little League website, or at http://littleleague.choicepoint.com.) Volunteers can not assume any duties prior to approval by league officials. More information on the Little League Child Protection Program can be found here.
