Scorekeeper/Pitch Counter

**The following volunteer roles are applicable to AA and above divisions for the SPRING SEASON only, as Fall Ball and Single A and below divisions are non-competitive with no official scorekeeping required.**

SCOREKEEPER: The HOME team will be required to provide the Official Scorekeeper for each Spring season game. While a basic knowledge of the game is a prerequisite for this role, LFLL will provide a live training on how to keep score in a scorebook prior to the start of the Spring season. The following YouTube videos also provide a detailed tutorial for how to keep score.

PITCH COUNTER: The VISITOR team will be required to provide a Pitch Counter for each Spring season game. This individual will also be responsible for operating the scoreboard for all games played at Heroes Park. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary. All training will be provided by LFLL prior to the start of the Spring season. We are working on creating a YouTube video tutorial for this as well.

The only requirement to volunteer for the Scorekeeper/Pitch Counter role is a background check (required for adults age 18+ only). As part of its Child Protection Program, Little League International (LLI) requires all leagues and districts in the United States to conduct an annual background check, including a nationwide criminal search, a search of the National Sex Offender Registry, review of the U.S. Center for SafeSport Centralized Disciplinary Database and Little League International Ineligible List. LFLL utilizes J.D Palatine (JDP), which is LLI’s preferred provider, to conduct its background checks. The annual period resets on October 1st of each year, so those participating in Fall Ball will need to complete the background check process twice during the season. If you completed the background check since 10/1 of the previous year, then you are already cleared for the Spring season. Everyone else will be receiving a link soon to complete the application to get it done based on the information provided during registration.
