Beginning in 2024, this training will now be a required part
of the annual Little League Volunteer Application, along with the
annual background check. The training must be completed before
any individual can assume any duties for the current season, including
District Administrators and Assistant District Administrators. It is important that all volunteers in a league complete the
training on an annual basis. Even though it may be a training an
individual has completed in the past, it is important to keep the
information that is taught through Abuse Awareness Training fresh in
everyone’s mind. The more individuals involved in a league that have the
information that Abuse Awareness Training provides, the better. Each league must determine which Abuse Awareness Training its volunteers must complete. USA Baseball’s BASE Abuse Awareness Training
is a FREE online training that is SafeSport-compliant. This course can
be completed in approximately 30 minutes online, producing a certificate
of completion that you will share with the individual at your league
who is responsible for overseeing your league’s background checks to
verify you have completed the training. Regardless of which training
program is used, each individual is responsible for providing their
league with documentation to show that they’ve completed Abuse Awareness
Training, annually. Visit our Volunteer Requirement section for information as to how to complete this training and receive your certificate.
