Additional Training Requirements: Online Safety Awareness & First Aid Training
Little League International has updated the annual safety and first aid training process. Instead of attending a scheduled virtual meeting in March as we have done in the past, you can now complete the coursework at your own pace online. They have separated the annual "safety/first aid" course into two sections as noted below.
To coach this season in our program, volunteers must complete the following three training courses found at: https://www.littleleague.org/university/training/
- Abuse Awareness Course (Registration Deadline: 2/20/26)
- Safety Awareness Course (Deadline: 2/27/26)
- First Aid Awareness Course (Deadline: 2/27/26)
Upon completion, please upload the abuse awareness course certificate to your account on the Blue Sombrero portal as initially planned before the registration deadline. We'll receive notification from Little League International once you've completed the other training. We recommend that you also download and save all training certificates in a safe place in case needed.
Also note that LLI requires all new volunteers entering our program to complete a "one time" Diamond Leader Training, which can also be located at the online link noted above. Returning volunteers/coaches DO NOT have to retake this specific course annually. We're also notified by LLI when candidates have completed this course.
Please ensure these courses are completed by February 27 to allow for seamless team placements. We've given everyone a little extra time for the additional courses to be completed. Failure to complete the requirements on time will postpone your involvement in the league.
Note: volunteers must complete these courses to be considered as a coach for an All Star team.
