JDP Batch and Manual Uploads

Have the potential league volunteer complete the Official League Volunteer Application and submit a government- issued photo ID

• League should verify that the information that was provided in the volunteer application is identical to the government issued photo ID.

The league admin completes this process after receiving the volunteers paper application and inputting the information into the JDP Platform.

The league admin has two options:

• Manually entering each individual’s information into the Order screen in the JDP Platform
• Batch upload the information for each individual from a CSV file

League Admin decides to approve or deny the potential league volunteer.

Once a background check has been conducted on a potential volunteer, the designated league official must review the results of the background check in JDP. If there is a charge on the potential volunteer, it will be indicated by a red flag on the JDP Platform. The local league must first determine if this charge is permitted by Little League Regulation or present this information to either the League president or local board to determine if this individual is fit to participate in any manner in the league.

The following offenses prohibit an individual from participating:

• Any charge, conviction, no contest plea or guilty plea, or admission to any crime involving or against a minor.
• An individual is listed on either of the U.S. Center for SafeSport’s Centralized Disciplinary Database and/or Little League International Ineligible List.
• If an individual has any charge, conviction, no contest plea or guilty plea, or admission to any crimes that are considered sexual in nature or listed on the National Sex Offender Registry, they must contact the Security Manager at Little League International (570-326-1921) before appointing the individual as a volunteer to participate in any capacity in the league.
• NOTE: If an individual involved with a league, or any activity of the Little League program, is under investigation for any type of child abuse, or has a pending charge against, or involving, a minor, they must be suspended until the outcome of the investigation or pending charges are complete and the allegations are resolved.

NOTE: A letter or email, which includes a copy of the completed background screening report & Summary of Rights, will be sent to every volunteer where a criminal record from the public records database is reported to your local Little League. A toll-free number is listed on the letter if the volunteer decides to dispute the information reported.

NOTE: A local league or district official is strongly encouraged to check additional criminal records that may provide more information regarding the criminal case of individuals whose crimes do not require that they be listed on a sex offender registry. For example, convictions for assault, battery, theft or drug offenses would not result in a report on the sex offender registry. Details can be found at JDP.
