THANK YOU!
We are always in need of volunteers for coaching, umpires, concession stand operation, and scorekeepers. Any amount of time you can volunteer is greatly appreciated as our Little League program is 100% run by volunteers. Once you are a "registered volunteer" you can run for the Board of Directors and vote in those elections giving you a direct voice in the direction of our league.
How to Become a Volunteer
1) All Tri-County Little League volunteers will need to register with at least one program (or more) of their choice, listed below (if you have not already done so). This process uses the account you created to register your player/s. If you don't have players enrolled in baseball or softball the system will prompt you to create your own account while you are registering.
2) Starting in 2026 Abuse Awareness Training Program is mandatory for ALL Little League volunteers regardless of their role, in addition to that, coaches will also complete the Little League Diamond Leader Training Program. Both certifications are only valid for one calendar year (returning coaches must recertify as expiring certificates will no longer be accepted), these are applicable in any Little League Program anywhere, and are provided at no cost to you.
PRO-TIP: It may be helpful to complete the Abuse Awareness training program before filling out the volunteer application, as the application will ask for a completion certificate to finish registering. This program is all online and can be completed at home or on your phone in under an hour if done in one sitting. If you are a coach the "Diamond Leader Training" program can be completed on your own time after you register, then added to your "volunteer profile" before the player draft in March. Volunteer Profiles are added to your "team webpage" that will be created when teams are formed. Completing your profile means parents will be able to click on your picture and learn a little bit about you.
3) Next a background check will be completed (at no cost to you). Click here for Frequently asked Questions about volunteer background checks. Watch your inbox, and your "junk mail folder" as an email will be sent by the system to initiate the background check process, you will have to agree to the background check via a digital signature process. After you agree and submit no further action will be required unless there is an issue. The faster you approve the email the faster your registration process can be completed.
4) After you've submitted your application please complete the "Volunteer Profile" on your Sport Connect account and make it public so that parents enrolling their children and visitors alike can learn a little bit about you and rest assured knowing that you are a screened volunteer. As you complete the required training programs and any additional ones please add them to your volunteer profile! If you attend a community CPR class, you can add that accomplishment as well - basically anything that enhances your safety and coaching skills can and should be added to your profile. Congratulations you earned it!
