IMPORTANT UPDATE 

2026 Mandatory Abuse Awareness Course for Volunteers

(NEW GUIDELINES)

The safety and well-being of all participants in the Little League® program are our top priority. Volunteers play a vital role in ensuring a fun, memorable, and safe experience every year. All volunteers are required to complete the Little League Abuse Awareness Course annually. Little League International is proud to announce the launch of the NEW Little League Abuse Awareness Course, which replaces previous programs offered through third-party organizations like USA Baseball. It is specifically tailored to the Little League program and designed to provide a simpler, more effective learning experience for our volunteers.

The course takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. Upon finishing, participants will receive a certificate, which must be downloaded and then uploaded to Blue Sombrero during registration. 

All volunteers (new and returning) will need to take the course BEFORE completing their registration on Blue Sombrero.

HLL registration will be opening in late January - more information will be announced soon. In the meantime, the course, along with instructions, can be accessed and completed through the Little League training portal at LittleLeague.org/Training

We strongly encourage all returning board members, officers, coaches, and managers to begin completing the course now so it’s ready before registration opens.

Quick Instructions:

1. Sign in or create an account
2. Locate and select the option for the "Abuse Awareness Course"
3. Follow instructions to complete the course (approx 45 mins) & take the exam to receive a certificate upon completion
4. Download and save the completion certificate in a safe place
5. Once registration opens, upload the certificate directly to Blue Sombrero before finalizing registration
