VOLUNTEER PROCEDURE:

If you want to be the Head Coach, Assistant Coach or Volunteer Umpire for your child's team YOU MUST INDICATE THAT IN TWO PLACES when you register.

1. First when you answer the following custom question: Are you or anyone you know interested in volunteering?
   There is a need for these positions: Coach, Assistant Coach and Volunteer Umpire (for 6's and 7's). Please provide the name, and e-mail address for whoever is interested in volunteering.
2. Then, also, when the SportsConnect Program asks the following: "Looking to get Involved? Here are some opportunities."
   NOTE: This 2nd place is how the Mandatory Background Check gets triggered. The background check must be re-done every year but if you did it this past Spring, you don’t have to repeat it for Fall Ball. However, if you are a new volunteer you must take care of the check when you register your child by
   a. Answering the volunteer questions that are asked.
   b. This includes uploading a copy of your current driver’s license as requested. (Sorry---this is required even if you've submitted it in the past to League President Debbie Kling)
   c. Then look for an e-mail from automation@instascreen.net with a Link to JDPalatine --the secure company that does all the background checks for Little Leagues.
   d. Click on the link and follow the subsequent instructions to complete the background check.

NOTE: Volunteer Parent Umpires are only used in Baseball 6’s and 7’s & Softball Minors.
