CA57 2011-12 District Policy Manual
Handout: District Policy Manual
Background Checks
Little League Baseball and Softball requires that all of its leagues perform background checks on all of its volunteers who provide regular service and/or have repetitive access to children. This season, the number of free background checks afforded to each league will increase by 56 percent.
Beginning on Jan. 1, 2009, the number of free background checks available to chartered local leagues and districts through ChoicePoint, newly-acquired by LexisNexis, has been increased from 80 to 125. To sign up and start doing background checks, go to http://littleleague.choicepoint.com.
Local Little Leagues have been required to conduct a nationwide background checks that include all the applicable government sex offender registry data since 2007. Statewide checks were required from 2003 to 2006. However, Little League International recommends that leagues go beyond the minimum in order to obtain information on other sex crimes and criminal charges that will not be found on the National Sex Offender Registry.
Keep in mind the number of background checks your league must be conducting on an annual basis. To be compliant with the Little League regulation, leagues must conduct checks on all coaches and managers, board members, and any other persons, volunteers or hired workers that provide regular service and/or have repetitive access to, or contact with players or teams. This includes, but is not limited, to extra practice coaches, umpires, team parents, grounds crew, scorekeepers and concession workers.
Information on Little League’s background check regulation is available in the 2009 A Safety Awareness Plan (ASAP) materials that are currently available the Little League website, at: http://www.littleleague.org/learn/forms.htm#asap.

D57 Mouns Joshua "Chachi" Corral
District 57 Mourns Loss of One of Its Own - Joshua "Chachi" Corral
Lance Cpl. Joshua Corral, a Marine and Danville Little League graduate serving his first tour of duty overseas, was killed in Afghanistan Nov. 18 while in combat in Helmand province.
 “Joshua played in the Danville Little League program from Tee Ball through Big League, and his family has been very active in the league,” Dave Wetmore, California’s Little League District 57 Administrator in that area, said. “He was a person who everyone liked who was willing to put his life on the line so all of us could enjoy the freedom we have. For someone his age, I think that speaks volumes to the kind of person he was.”
The 2010 graduate of San Ramon Valley High School grew up in Danville, Calif., and was known by most in the town as Chachi. He enlisted in the Marines shortly after graduating. Joshua, the second oldest of four brothers, was an exemplary soldier graduating first in his Marine Corps class.
Lance Cpl. Corral, who was 19 years old, was assigned to 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force in Twentynine Palms, Calif.
Mr. Corral’s father, Arnie, has been an active member of the Danville Little League for many years, currently serving on the Board of Directors.
