All Little League volunteers who are required to complete a Little League Volunteer Application (done during registration), the JDP Background Check and Little League Adult Child Abuse Awareness training prior to assuming any of his or her duties for the 2025 season. It is important that all volunteers in a league complete the training on an annual basis. Even though it may be a training an individual has completed in the past, it is important to keep the information that is taught through Abuse Awareness Training fresh in everyone’s mind. The more individuals involved in a league that have the information that Abuse Awareness Training provides, the better. More information about this requirement can be found on the littleleague.org website.
