IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS
NPLL is an all-volunteer organization, from the Board of Directors to the part-time helpers. Even though no one is paid, the safety and well-being of our kids is paramount. The following are required by Little League International and/or the State of California.
Whether you are a team manager/head coach, assistant coach, or only plan to help once and a while, please complete the following to ensure you are Little League compliant. If you are not sure whether you’ll be helping or not, we encourage you to complete the one-time trainings anyway.
All volunteers must complete the following BEFORE working with any kids:
