Little League International requires little league baseball programs to verify that coaches and staff have completed required background checks and training before working with youth athletes. For Mississippi organizations, Volunteer Tracker automates this in a single dashboard.

    Mississippi law (Miss. Code Ann. § 43-15-303) prohibits child care services from allowing anyone on the sex offender registry — or convicted of a sex offense — to volunteer, on top of national governing-body background-check requirements.

    National Requirements for Little League Baseball Volunteers

    Baseline requirements set by Little League International:

    • JDP background check for all managers, coaches, board members, and volunteers with repeated player access
    • Abuse Awareness training (Little League's Abuse Awareness for Adults course)
    • Diamond Leader training for All Star managers and coaches

    Where National Standards End and Mississippi Law Begins

    Mississippi law (Miss. Code Ann. § 43-15-303) prohibits child care services from allowing anyone on the sex offender registry — or convicted of a sex offense — to volunteer, on top of national governing-body background-check requirements.

    National minimums

    Little League International sets baseline requirements and provides tools to track them — but those tools stop at the national standard.

    Mississippi legal requirements

    Mississippi adds its own legally binding mandates on top — and tracking them is your organization's responsibility. Volunteer Tracker tracks national, state, and league-specific requirements together.

    Built for Any Volunteer Role

    Roles are fully customizable — you define the roles your Mississippi program uses, each with its own requirements. These Little League Baseball roles are common examples, not a limit:

    Manager

    Coach

    Team Mom/Dad

    Board Member

    How It Works

    Three steps to a fully compliant Mississippi little league baseball roster.

    1

    Set Up Your League's Roles

    Define your roles — Manager, Coach, Team Mom, Board Member — and assign which national, state, and league requirements each role needs.

    2

    Volunteers Self-Onboard

    Volunteers self-onboard and upload their certifications. Automated reminders handle the follow-ups so you don't have to chase anyone.

    See Who's Cleared at a Glance

    Your admin dashboard shows exactly who is cleared versus who has outstanding items — across every requirement — before your season starts.
