A: You need to fill out a Little League Approved Volunteer application and submit it with a copy of your photo ID. You can find this on the links section of this sites home page. If you wish to be considered for a Team Managers spot in AA, AAA, or the Majors you must contact the league president.
Q: What if I've done this for another League?
A: It does not matter. We still need one on file at VALL and we will need to run a background check.
Q: Can I coach before I submit the application?
A:No, not until your application has been approved.
Q: So after I submit the application, I'm good to go?
A: NO, we still need time to run the background check. When your name appears on the Approved Volunteer List in the side menu, then your background check is complete and okay. Managers and coaches are then selected from the approved list by the President.
