Subject: Important Update for Leagues Utilizing the USA Baseball Abuse Awareness for Adults Training

Dear District and League Official:

We hope the start to your 2024 Little League^® season is going well!! As part of the continued evolution of the Little League Child Protection Program and our new requirement for all volunteers to complete Abuse Awareness training on an annual basis, we wanted to provide an important update to those leagues that are requiring their volunteers to complete their training through USA Baseball’s BASE program.

After receiving many inquiries from local Little League programs about adding their specific league name to a drop-down menu for easier tracking of their respective volunteers, we have worked with USA Baseball to create the following directions for local Little Leagues to provide to their volunteers.

Below you will find instructions to share with coaches and volunteers on how to link their account to their local league and complete the Abuse Awareness for Adults course. For league administrators tracking course progress, they will find all users that link their accounts by using the User Directory "Little League-Local League" filter.
