Fountain Valley Little League Volunteer Requirements
Fountain Valley Little League, in coordination with Little League International and the State of California, has set specific requirements for anyone serving as a volunteer. These guidelines help ensure the safety, integrity, and overall well-being of every player and family involved in our program.
If you plan to coach, assist, or help on the field this season, please review the steps below carefully. Completion of these items — including background checks, training courses, and certifications — is mandatory before you can participate in any on-field activities. Your timely action ensures we maintain a safe and positive environment for all players.
