Volunteer Compliance Tracking for PlayMetrics Leagues
PlayMetrics runs your league's registration and operations. Volunteer Tracker is the flexible compliance layer on top — role-based requirements, due dates, automatic reminders, and certification expiration tracking that keep every volunteer cleared all season. Here's exactly how the two work together.
PlayMetrics and Volunteer Tracker Solve Different Jobs
PlayMetrics is the youth-sports management platform Little League selected for Central Registration — registration, payments, scheduling, team formation, and your league website. It's a strong operations platform, and most leagues will be on it.
Volunteer Tracker isn't a replacement for any of that. It's the compliance system of record that sits on top of whatever registration platform you use. PlayMetrics can store a document and mark someone cleared or not cleared; Volunteer Tracker tracks which requirements each role needs, when each one is due, and reminds volunteers automatically before anything expires.
That's why the two fit together rather than compete: keep PlayMetrics for running your league, and add Volunteer Tracker for proving — and keeping — everyone cleared to be on the field.

What Volunteer Tracker Adds On Top of PlayMetrics
PlayMetrics stores documents and marks people cleared. Volunteer Tracker handles everything that keeps them cleared — by role, with due dates, reminders, and expiration tracking a registration platform isn't built for.
Role-based requirements
Managers, coaches, snack-bar parents, and board members each get their own requirement set — and only see what they actually need.
Due dates & automatic reminders
Every requirement carries a due date, and volunteers are reminded automatically for upcoming and overdue items — so you stop chasing people by email.
Expiration management
Track each certification's own expiration and renewal window — JDP, Live Scan, CPR/AED, and more — instead of a single cleared/not-cleared checkbox.
Valid all season long
Require a certification to stay valid through the entire season. Anyone who would lapse mid-season is flagged now — not after an incident.
Clear dashboards & reporting
Every volunteer sees “what do I need to do?”, and admins get league-wide compliance reporting and exports of exactly who's outstanding.
Completely flexible
Not tied to any provider or training. Track any background check, training, certification, or task — and add new ones as laws change, like California's AB 310 CPR/AED rule.
