Are There Any Volunteer Requirements?
Yes, all volunteers must undergo background checks. Please click here for all the background check information and requirements you will need to volunteer.
Why Are Background Checks Necessary?
All
little league programs nationwide are required to annually 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. Pennsylvania State Legislature passed a series of new
state
regulations for increased protection of children from potential
predators.
The
purpose of these background checks is to protect our children by
providing as safe an environment as possible. Therefore, failure to
complete and submit the volunteer application form by those required to
do so will result in that person being barred from participation in
Bellefonte Little League.
All
information received by the league will be treated as confidential.
Should you have questions regarding this requirement, please email baseball@bellefontelittleleague.org. Please click here for all the background check information and requirements you will need to volunteer.
