TEAM STAFF REQUIREMENTS
ALL volunteers must have a yearly background check for participation in Little League--this includes board members and umpires as well as team staff--coaches and team helpers. When you apply for a team staff position, the system will send you a link to JDP to complete the information required for the background check.
All head coaches and assistant coaches should have current certificates for concussion awareness and sudden cardiac arrest--IF you have a certificate from another sport that will be effective thru the Spring season, you may use that certificate.
IF you need to renew your certification. NFHS provides free online training with certificates for these subjects as well as several others. The link to that site in https://nfhslearn.com/courses
Head coaches and assistant coaches will need a Diamond Leader certificate as well. IF you completed that training in 2023 or 2024 you will NOT need to do the program again for 2025. The link to the Diamond Leader training is https://www.littleleague.org/s/diamond+leader
This year Little League is requiring ALL volunteers to have completed the Little League Abuse Awareness course. Please be sure you indicate Capitol Little League 04470301 on your training profile.
