Little Leagues all over the world are ran by volunteers. Board Members, Umpires, Coaches and many more are all volunteers. The more volunteers a League has the better it runs.
Little League International has contracted with JDP to provide local leagues with a special Internet site that allows members to search a criminal records database of more than 450 million criminal records – instantly.
To apply to volunteer, please login to your account and click on the Volunteer icon on the left of the screen. This will start the process. Once you complete the registration you will receive and email from JDP to complete the actual background check application. Once approved we will issue you a volunteer badge.
Once you sign up, you will get an email confirmation that includes a link to required abuse training. This training has to be completed annually and is valid for Spring AND Fall if taken for the Spring Season. Without completing this training and the background check due to the seasons cutoff, you will not receive a badge and will not be allowed onto the field.
The link to the training is:

Your sign up confirmation email contains the email address to forward the completion too.
