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 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.

As per Little League Regulation 1(c)9: “No local league shall permit any person to participate in any manner whose background check reveals a conviction, guilty plea, no contest pleas, or admission to any crime involving or against a minor or minors.”

Starting in 2019, leagues are required to contact the Security Manager at Little League International if a potential volunteer appears on the National Sex Offender Registry prior to the volunteer being appointed. This information can be found under Little League Regulation I (c) (9) in the Little League Rulebook.

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.

A: The JDP QuickApp solution allows leagues to simply upload basic information (name and email address) for volunteers to complete their own the background check. All personal information is secured inside the JDP environment with no other sensitive, personal information released or visible to any third party.

A: No. Little League’s existing Volunteer Application and Basic Volunteer Application are still available for leagues who opt to use JDP’s manual process, or other comparable background check providers.

A: No, the Little League Volunteer Application is integrated into the JDP Quickapp. The application can be viewed or downloaded under the individual volunteer’s background check.

A: Leagues are welcome to use paper volunteer applications. New this year, there are two different volunteer applications Volunteer Application and Basic Volunteer Application.

A: The registered league official can sign into the JDP website and look at Reports. There is a “Status” column that states either: Complete or App Pending. If an app is pending the QuickApp was sent but not completed. There is also another column that states “Ordered” with the date the QuickApp was sent.

A: This flag indicates that there is a charge on their record. The league must determine if this person is fit to fulfill their volunteer duties with this charge. Any volunteer that has a charge against or pending against a minor is not permitted to volunteer under any circumstances per the Little League Regulation 1(C) 8 & 9. ***
