  • If you have lived outside PA at some point in the last 10 years, you must complete the FBI fingerprinting process, which will require you to pay a small fee ($22.95) and visit an IdentoGO location. Click here to begin the process. 

Step 2: Sign-Up to Volunteer through WPLL’s Registration System

You will not be able to complete this step unless you have all documentation from Step 1 ready to upload.
If you registered for a volunteer role before the form was updated, please follow the instructions in the slide deck.

Step 3: Complete Your Little League Volunteer Application

This step will also kick off the national background check through JDP that is required by Little League.

   • The email will come directly from JDP (not WPLL).
2. This is required annually by Little League International for all volunteers.

Step 4: Complete Your Little League Required Child Abuse Awareness Training

1. Go the the Little League Training Opportunities page.
   • Click “Create Account" button if you don't have one of the "Login to Training Portal" if you do.
   • At the end of the account creation there is a section to specify "Your Associated League"
   • West Point Little League's ID # is 2382620
     

   

2. Find the "Abuse Awareness Training" on your dashboard and complete it.  Although not required, you may also complete the "Diamond Leader" training as well.  This training is required to coach for All Stars.

Note: No coach or volunteer is permitted to have any contact with their team until ALL 4 Steps are completed above.
