Due to Pennsylvania law, ANYONE who would like to volunteer within the GABSA organization will need to complete a 4-step background verification process. Each of these 4 steps can be completed by you in 5-10 minutes each, however it’s possible one or more of these items could take 1-2 weeks to have the results returned. With that in mind, the GABSA Board of Directors encourages anyone who would like to volunteer this season to begin this process as soon as possible. Items 1-3 in the list below are valid for 60 months once completed, so once we have these on file it is not required to repeat every year. Item number 4 (Little League Volunteer application) will be required for completion every year.
If you volunteered last year and completed the below steps, you will only have to complete the 2024 Little League Volunteer application.
