All, I have seen mostly this as a board decision after the background check came back with a negative strike or two… or more in some cases. Crime against a child – automatic “Nope”. However I have also seen people with extensive rap sheets – 20 years in their past – be incredible volunteers – truly transformed and dedicated to others – and be perfectly fine.

You have to check with Little League if a volunteer is on the sex offender list. Beyond that, most leagues look at how recent and how big a crime. They might also put restrictions on someone convicted of a vehicle crime, such as DWI. I also had a league find out their new treasurer had been out of prison for less than a year after being convicted of embezzlement. In that case, they just switched him to another volunteer position.

I can't find anything definitive or even guidance with LL. What I hear is each league can set what is acceptable and not acceptable.
