Littlestown Baseball for Youth has some new requirement for all coaches, assistant coaches and any volunteer who wishes to assist with practices or serve as a bench coach. Below is a link to the detailed rule for review. The new rule requires those requesting to work with the players to submit their clearances once every five years. In Pennsylvania an individual can receive free copies of the State Police and Child Abuse clearances once every three years for volunteer purposes. Below are links to the websites to receive the State Police and Child Abuse clearances. While the new rule requires someone to submit clearances every three years the volunteer application must be completed annually. Coaches will also need to complete the mandatory reporting training. This class is a free online class. It does take about 3 hours from start to finish, but you can save and come back to it. At the end you will receive a certificate. It must be done on a laptop or desktop computer. Please go to www.reportabusepa.pitt.edu. More directions are below if needed. Once all required clearances and the volunteer application are submitted each volunteer will receive an email from the President of the League advising the individual that he or she may now work in a volunteer role for the season.
Should you have questions, including about the expiration of your current clearance on file, or to submit your clearances/ application please email [email protected].
