Background Checks

Posted on 1 April 2010 | Comments Off

From Little League International – April 1, 2010

Dear District Administrators, League Presidents and League Officials:

It is time to make sure that the required background checks for the local league have been completed.  Also, remember to complete background checks on any additional volunteers as they become active.

In accordance with Little League rules and regulations, background checks must be completed for all members of the league’s board of directors, managers, coaches, umpires and any other volunteer staff who will provide “regular service” and/or “repetitive access” to players or teams.

All managers, umpires and coaches, including any practice coaches, must be appointed by the League President and be approved by the local board of directors, after his/her background check has been completed.  Please advise your managers and coaches that they must not permit any parent or individual to assist in any practice or other team activity until he/she has submitted a Little League Volunteer Application and the background check process has been completed.

For umpires participating in multiple Little League programs and with “regular service” and/or having “repetitive access” to children, a background check must be done by each league in which the umpire officiates. Little League International recommends that local leagues conduct their backgrounds through LexisNexis, at: http://LittleLeague.lexisnexis.com.

Using LexisNexis affords each chartered league 125 free background checks and a cost of $1 per check for any subsequent checks. Organizations with more than one charter (for example, an American and National League) need to establish two accounts so that they receive the full benefit of 125 free checks for each league.

For new leagues registering with LexisNexis, or leagues renewing their LexisNexis registration, be aware that it may take up to two (2) weeks for the registration to be processed. If you encounter any problems using LexisNexis, please, call LexisNexis Customer Support, at: 866-399-6647, and select Option 4.  Also, you can email LexisNexis Customer Support, at: volunteer.support@lexisnexis.com. LexisNexis Customer Support is available from 8 a.m.-to-8 p.m., Eastern U.S. Time, Monday through Friday.

If you are not contacted by LexisNexis within two weeks, or require more information on background checks, please, direct questions to Jim Ferguson, Little League International’s Assistant Director of Risk Management, at: 570-326-1921, ext. 212; or e-mail:  jferguson@LittleLeague.org.

New Catching/Pitching Rule

Posted on 26 March 2010 | Comments Off

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Regulation VI – PITCHERS in the Baseball Rule Book has been amended to read, in part:

(a) Any player on a regular season team may pitch. Exception: Any player, who has played the position of catcher in four (4) or more innings in a game, is not eligible to pitch on that calendar day.

Summary and Implementation: Beginning immediately, this prohibits a player – who has played the position of catcher in any part of four innings in a game – from being used as a pitcher at any time on that calendar day. This applies to all baseball divisions, and will apply to the International Tournament as well.

DA’s Note: It doesn’t matter if the player catches two innings, then pitches (forty or less) and then returns to catcher. No restriction here. The player can catch beyond a total of four innings. Same with a starting pitcher (forty or less) that moves to catcher, there is no limit on the number of innings that can be caught.

Posted on 19 March 2010 | Comments Off

From Little League International – March 19, 2010 Dear Little League Volunteer, This is a follow-up to the posting of the results of voting on the 25th International Congress Agenda. The results were provided to the delegates at the Congress in Lexington, Ky., on Monday, March 15. Results also were posted on the Little League web site that evening, with discussions taking place over the next few days on Little League’s Facebook site. The documents linked below have been prepared to make understanding of the changes easier.

Rules and Regulations changes that went into effect immediately upon approval by the International Board of Directors at the Congress http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/tournaments/ChangesRegSeason2010_3-18-10.pdf

Tournament Rules and Guidelines changes that will go into effect in the 2010 Tournament season http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/tournaments/ChangesRegSeason2011_3-18-10.pdf

Rules and Regulations changes that will go into effect starting in 2011 http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/tournaments/ChangesTournament2010_3-18-10.pdf

Tournament Rules and Guidelines changes that will go into effect in the 2011 Tournament season http://www.littleleague.org/Assets/forms_pubs/tournaments/ChangesTournament2011_3-18-10.pdf

By all accounts, the International Congress was a terrific success. Little League thanks the Host Committee and Co-Chairmen Bill Bradley and John Roll for their hospitality, the more than 400 delegates who attended, and the more than 1,000 other guests. Each made this Congress special as they helped chart the course of our program for the next several years.

A synopsis of the Congress events can be found here: http://www.littleleague.org/media/newsarchive/2010/Jan-Apr/25thLLIntCongressConcludesLexingtonKY.htm More Congress information, including the presentations, photos and video, will be coming soon to the Little League web site.
