Pacific Little League is serious about providing a safe environment for all players.  Each year, the National Little League requires that a comprehensive Safety Program be developed and implemented.

Volunteers in the league are required to submit a form and agree to a background check in order to participate.  Please download the form and submit it with a copy of your driver's license to the safety manager or your team's coordinator.
