Volunteer Requirements

Thank you for volunteering
 
We could not do this without you!

As an appreciated volunteer, we know you understand the importance of keeping our players safe. Following is a summary of the requirements necessary to be cleared to volunteer both legally and safely at Ladera Little League.

1.     All volunteers need to be registered with an account on the Ladera Little League website, and sign up for a volunteer role.

2.     All volunteers need to complete the Little League International required background check administered by JD Palatine ("JDP"). You will receive an email from Ladera Little League inviting you to complete the background check. JDP does not provide notification of subsequent arrest after the background check is completed, therefore the national Little League background checks must be completed annually. 

Pursuant to California State Law, Article 3 (commencing with Section 11100) of Chapter 1 of Title 1 of Part 4 of the Penal Code, criminal history information is used internally.  Confidential criminal history information is not disclosed to the public.

3. The State of California, via the California Penal Code, requires Live Scan fingerprinting background checks for
volunteers who are 18 years of age or older and are administrators of a youth sports organization (e.g. board members)
and/or who spend 16 or more hours per month or 32 hours per year in direct contact with or supervision of children
(this would include managers, coaches, board members, team parents/coordinators, snack bar volunteers, etc.).
The Live Scan does not need to be repeated annually. Please review the Ladera Little League Background
Check Policy

4.    All volunteers must complete abuse awareness training annually. 
The Abuse Awareness Training Course is custom to the Little League program and provides an easier learning experience for our volunteers. Required to be completed by all volunteers each year, this course is available as part of the training and education courses at LittleLeague.org/Training, making signing up for the course even easier for our volunteers. Please download the completion certificate provided at the end of the training as proof of compliance.

5.    California law requires that all managers/coaches, administrators and officials complete an online concussion training at least once before supervising youth athletes. Other  volunteers may complete this training as well, but it is not required. A certificate from a prior season is valid for the current season. It takes only about 30 minutes to complete the training. Follow the link to the CDC HEADS UP to Youth Sports online training. Please print out or download the certificate once you complete the training and quiz as proof of compliance.

6.    Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prevention Protocol: (Required once by CA law)  AB 379  requires that the same protocols used for concussions in youth and high school sports to be used to help protect young athletes participating in school and community youth sports organizations from sudden cardiac arrest—the #1 killer of young athletes. Community youth sports organizations include an organization, business, nonprofit entity, or a local governmental agency that sponsors or conducts amateur sports competitions, training, camps, or clubs in which persons 17 years of age or younger participate. The 20 minute online Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prevention Training need only be taken once. Please download the completion certificate provided at the end of the training as proof of compliance.

7.       Completion of the Diamond Leader Training Program is required by every approved Little League International Tournament team manager and coach.

The above steps are required to keep Ladera Ladera Little League in compliance with Little League International requirements and California law.

We recognize that as a Little League Volunteer, you dedicate many hours to serving our players each month, and we appreciate your assistance in completing these requirements, including those related to the new California Law.  Our commitment is to provide as much support as possible to ensure our volunteers are not severely impacted with time/travel issues.  We will continue to update you on this process but want to make you all aware of the new requirements. 

Thank you for all that you do to ensure that we have a safe community!

Live Scan Instructions

Dear Ladera Little League Volunteers,

We thank you for offering to dedicate your time and energy to Ladera Little League. Please follow the instructions below so that you may serve as a volunteer for the upcoming season.

As of January 1, 2024, all regular volunteers, which includes, but is not limited to, coaches, referees, team parents, and board membersin California MUST have a one-time background check as approved by the California Department of Justice. The purpose of this background check is to identify, and potentially exclude, those individuals with a history of conduct that may pose a risk to children at Ladera Little League. This background check requires live scan fingerprinting.

To help streamline the process, Ladera Little League has partnered with ApplicantServices.com. Through this process, we have negotiated a reduced price of $25 per volunteer to be covered by Ladera Little League. A list of approved Live Scan service centers can be found on the Applicant Services website.

Please note, this process has been negotiated specifically for Ladera Little League. You will need to register via the link provided below to receive the reduced price covered by the league and to ensure the information is sent to Ladera Little League directly from the California Department of Justice.
