SPENCERPORT JUNIOR BASEBALL & SOFTBALL

VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS

Safety and accountability are at the heart of the Spencerport Junior Baseball & Softball experience. By requiring background checks, the league ensures that every adult on the field has been vetted, creating a secure environment where parents can feel confident leaving their children. The mandatory module training—covering everything from safety protocols to abuse prevention—equips volunteers with the critical knowledge needed to handle emergencies and maintain a positive, healthy atmosphere for the players.

Only registered volunteers that have completed the requirements may interact with players.

BACKGROUND CHECK (ALL VOLUNTEERS): Once you register as a volunteer you will receive an email from “Spencerport JR Baseball Little League” asking you to complete the background questionnaire. The background check will be completed by Little League affiliated: JD Palantine and results will be reported to Spencerport Junior Baseball & Softball

It promotes player safety by covering injury prevention, when to call 911, and how to handle acute situations efficiently
