Dear SYC Little League Volunteer,
THANK YOU for volunteering or considering to volunteer with SYC Little League; our league would not be successful without YOU!
Please contact Cory Landis (SYC LL Background Clearance Coordinator) at
[email protected] to submit clearance certificates or with clearance related questions.
As volunteers we have regular interactions with our players. As such, we are required to undergo (and provide documentation related to) background checks to ensure that we protect our children.
SYC Little League is fully committed to the safety and protection of all children enrolled in our programs. We will therefore comply with all Pennsylvania state laws and Little League policies and regulations regarding background checks for all volunteers.
Volunteer roles that require background clearance information include (but may not be limited to):
- SYCLL Board of Directors positions
- Managers (i.e., head coaches)
- Coaches
- Practice volunteers
- Team parents
- Umpires
Essentially, any volunteer role where an adult may have regular contact with and/or responsibility or oversight of SYC players requires the background clearance paperwork. All background clearance documentation is required before any volunteer can have contact with players.
There are two sets of information that we must collect:
1) information required by the State of PA and
2) information required by Little League International.
All volunteers must have all clearance documents approved before they can supervise children associated with SYC Little League.
