Volunteers
NNLL requires its volunteers to be fingerprinted, complete a yearly background check with JDP and complete an abuse awareness course.
You can check your status by clicking on the 2024 Approved Volunteers link. Your name will be highlighted in green when you are cleared.
Step 1:
Live-scan fingerprints (this is done 1 time and never expires)
California law requires all youth sports organizations to require live-scan fingerprinting. You can find instructions here and the form here
Step 2:
JDP background check (done yearly)
Little League International requires annual background checks through JDP. Click an applicable link below. You will receive an email within 48-72 hours asking you to complete a questionnaire. Be sure to do this step, as it is what allows JDP to process your background check.

FAQ’s
I am fingerprinted elsewhere (school, work, sports organization), do I still need to be fingerprinted with NNLL?
Yes. Any agency requesting fingerprints is only able to see their applicants. Therefore, NNLL can only see that you have been cleared if you use our application form.
Do I have to get fingerprinted every season?
No, this is a one time process. Your status will roll over year after year. If you would like to be removed from our system (once you no longer wish to volunteer) email safety@nnll.org
Why do I have to submit a yearly background check if I have already been fingerprinted?
Little League International requires all volunteers to submit an annual background check, we use JDP. The State of California requires all volunteers in youth sport organizations to be fingerprinted.
How much do I have to pay?
JDP background checks are fully covered by NNLL.
The rolling fee for fingerprints is about $30. If you wish to be reimbursed you can email treasurer@nnll.org
