2025 Volunteer Background Check Process
AS YOU REGISTER YOUR PLAYER(S), YOU CAN ALSO SIGN UP TO BE A VOLUNTEER (MANAGER, ASST. COACH, TEAM HELPER).

RHLL WILL INITIATE A PROCESS THAT WILL TRIGGER AN EMAIL TO BE SENT TO YOU ASKING YOU TO COMPLETE A BACKGROUND CHECK QUESTIONNAIRE (SEE LINK BELOW FOR EXAMPLE)

IF YOU VOLUNTEERED IN 2024, YOU WILL NEED TO DO THAT AGAIN IN 2025. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PASS A BACKGROUND CHECK IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY CONTACT WITH THE PLAYERS
IF YOU DECIDE TO SIGN UP TO BE A VOLUNTEER AT A LATER DATE AFTER YOU REGISTER YOUR PLAYER(S), SIMPLY JUST LOG BACK IN AND CLICK ON THE VOLUNTEER TAB ON THE PANEL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE WEB PAGE.
ONCE YOU PASS THE BACKGROUND CHECK, RHLL WILL CREATE A COACHES CARD SIGNIFYING YOU ARE APPROVED. YOU MUST SHOW YOUR CARD AND DRIVER'S LICENSE TO THE UMPIRE OR OPPOSING MANAGER (NON-UMPIRED GAMES).
2025 Concussion Awareness Training
Michigan State Law requires that all coaches have Concussion Awareness Training. In order to get certified, you must watch a 30 minute video and print out your certificate at the completion of the video (you enter your name at the beginning of the video). You are required to bring this certificate to every game you plan to coach in and show it to the umpires or opposing manager (non-umpired games). Previously, once you completed the training, you did not have to do it again in subsequent years. However, per this change in the law, you must complete online concussion awareness training every three years. In order for your certificate to be valid for the 2025 season, it must show it was done in either 2023, 2023, or 2025. Certificates from 2022 and older will not be recognized as official.
