Volunteers
LSLL is required by Little League Baseball Incorporated regulations to conduct annual national background checks of
volunteer individuals as a condition of our charter. Completion and verification of the Volunteer Form for one year
DOES NOT automatically carry over into the next season. Our year is defined as October 1 to September 30.
This requirement was implemented to protect our children from those who would seek to do them harm, to protect
LSLL from possible loss of league or personal assets because of litigation, and to take advantage of current technology
and laws that have made background check information accessible to LSLL.
The Volunteer Application can be scanned and emailed to our volunteer email at [email protected].
Or, it can be mailed to the league address:
Lake Stevens Little League
P.O. Box 716
