2010 Safety Program

The season is fast approaching.  Little League takes pride in the fact that we have a safety track record second to none.  Some of the safety innovations you see in other youth sports got their start here in Little League.

Part of our Safety plan is that ALL of FCLL's volunteers go through a background check prior to interacting with our children.

If you are a Managers, Coach, Umpire, Team Parent, or have any other continuous contact with the players of FCLL, you MUST complete a volunteer application and submit it with a copy of your driver's license.  This needs to be done each year you volunteer.  Even if dad want's to help the manager at practice for a few practices or games, you must complete the form.  It only takes minutes and only needs to be done once a year.

Please take a minute to download the form by clicking here.  Then you have a few options to turn it in.

1. Scan it and email it to safety@fcllbaseball.org (the form must be complete, have your signature and you must scan your driver's license as well - Note:  this is the preferred method of turning in your form)
2. Fax it to 866-741-4123 (the form must be complete, have your signature and you must fax your driver's license as well)
3. Mail it to:  P.O. Box 512, Mount Airy, MD  21771 (the form must be complete, have your signature and you must mail your driver's license as well)
4. Hand it to a league representative prior to February 21, 2010 (the form must be complete, have your signature and you must provide your driver's license as well)

The league receives discounts and incentives for being 100% compliant.  Last season we were the first league in our district to be 100% compliant.  Let's do it again in 2010.  We need to have all the volunteer forms to a league official by February 21.  If you have any questions, you can email safety@fcllbaseball.org

If you even think you will help out, please submit the form.

Thank you for your help.
