Are background checks required for volunteers with NMLL?
In order to provide a safe environment for all players in North Metro Little League all volunteers (including managers, coaches, assistant coaches, team parents, board of directors, and umpires) are required to complete a background check prior to the start of a season.
At the beginning of each playing season, once the teams have been formed, the League President or Safety Officer will send out an email to all volunteers which will include an online form to be completed.
For further information on how to fill out the online form once it is emailed to you, see the "Volunteer QuickApp" video at the following link: JDP Little League Background Check
Any questions regarding Little League's policy for maintaining a safe playing environment can be found at the following link:

Why does Little League have boundaries?
Little League of America regulates each Little League to draw from a population of approximately 20,000 people. These boundaries are designed to prevent local leagues from "stacking" teams and from bringing in hand picked players from other areas. This provides the children from the local leagues area better chances to advance.
What if I don't live in the boundaries of North Metro Little League?
Most likely you will have to participate in another Little League program. You can find out which program you must participate in by contacting a board member. If your child attends a school located within NMLL boundaries, it is possible for them to play with us! Please check the Eligibility page for more info.
How can I help to make NMLL a more successful league?
Since NMLL runs solely by volunteer help, we are in need of assistance in many areas. These areas include coaching, concessions, and team parents.
