Coaches (including Assistant Coaches), Umpires and Board Members – Pennsylvania state law requires any adult that has repetitive contact with children to obtain the following clearances:

• Pennsylvania State Police Criminal History check (Act 34), and
• Child Abuse History Clearance (Act 151)

Anyone who has not lived in Pennsylvania the past 10 years must also complete a Federal Criminal History Background Check.

If you intend to Coach, Umpire, or serve on the Board, please complete the following checks and provide copies of the final documents to the President of Harborcreek Little League (currently Scott Dunkle).

• Pennsylvania State Police Criminal History Check (Act 34). Most people should select the "Volunteer Only" option, which is free.
• Child Abuse History Clearance (Act 151)
• Only for recent PA residents (moved here from another state within the past 10 years) – Federal Criminal History Background Check

All volunteers must complete the required background checks to be eligible for a volunteer position in the HarborCreek Little League.

Please contact the league president if you have any questions regarding these opportunities and/or the background checks.

Thank you for your interest!
