Application to Coach and Authorization to Conduct Background Check

 

Little League requires that background checks be completed for all Managers, Coaches, or Team Volunteers. By submitting this signed application you authorize East Fullerton Little League Board of Directors to conduct a background check, which may include a review of sex offender registries, child abuse and criminal history records and checking with any players and/or their parents who have been on teams you have coached and/or managed in the past. In addition to this Manager Application, the Little League Volunteer Applications must also be completed.

Completed applications will be reviewed by the East Fullerton Little League Board of Directors for approval and team assignments. East Fullerton Little League appreciates the importance of the Manager role as a position of trust and responsibility in Little League. Acceptance of an appointment as a Manager in East Fullerton Little League constitutes a contract with the players, parents, other managers, other coaches, umpires and league officials to demonstrate your appreciation of the philosophy of Little League and cooperation with others in making the program benefit all who participate.

 

Please complete the Little League Volunteer Application – 2012, which can be found on the East Fullerton Little League web page. Please attach a copy of both applications and your driver’s license. Little League Volunteer Application must be submitted with this coaching application.

 

All volunteers will be checked against a national sex offender registry, as required by Little League. The requirement of background checks is necessary to protect children by maintaining a hostile and unwelcome environment for those who would sexually abuse or exploit children in any way.

Partnered with PCA

 

As part of a targeted effort to provide the most positive environment possible for its youth athletes, East Fullerton Little League has partnered with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), a Stanford University-based non-profit organization. PCA works with coaches, organizational leaders and parents to teach young athletes not only how to win, but also how to learn about teamwork, discipline, respect, and goal-setting through their sports experience.
 
For the 2011 season coaches took part in a mandatory workshop that provided coaches with tools they can use to become Double-Goal Coaches™ (coaches who want to both win and develop the character of their players).
 
Founded as a non-profit within the Stanford University Athletic Department in 1998, PCA has the mission of “transforming youth sports so sports can transform youth.” To that end, PCA has conducted roughly 5,000 live group workshops nationwide for more than 200,000 youth sports leaders, coaches, parents and athletes. Workshop attendees have helped create a positive, character-building youth sports environment for more than 2.2 million youth athletes.
 
PCA trains Double-Goal Coaches®, whose first goal is winning, and whose second, more-important goal is teaching life lessons through sports. This coaching method takes its name from “The Double-Goal Coach,” a book by PCA Founder and Executive Director Jim Thompson. PCA has the support of elite coaches and athletes including Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach Phil Jackson as PCA national spokesperson. For more information, go to www.positivecoach.org.
