Tierrasanta Little League (TLL) is an organization designed to build good citizens. It is a program of leadership, preparing today's youth to be tomorrow's leaders. TLL relies on a devoted legion of adult volunteers to help ensure that the organization remains structured and runs smoothly. We are always looking for responsible and enthusiastic individuals to support and coordinate events and activities. As a volunteer, you should have a keen interest in the safety, well-being, and overall development of children.
Who Can Volunteer?
Anyone can apply to become a volunteer. Whatever talents or skills you have, we can use them! Across the country, volunteers are grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, retirees, community leaders, former Little Leaguers, friends, neighbors, and more. Any community member who wishes to become a volunteer may apply.
All parents of children involved in TLL are strongly encouraged to volunteer. As a parent volunteer, you have the opportunity to spend quality time with your child in a safe, fun-filled environment. Oftentimes, parent and child social lives parallel each other. Volunteering allows your life and your child's life to intersect on common ground, with shared interests and goals.
On rare occasions, TLL, through District Administrators and TLL Board of Directors, may deny individuals the privilege of volunteering for reasons, past or present, that may be detrimental to the positive development of young people, other volunteers, and/or Little League International. When you apply to become a volunteer, you give the local Little League organization the right to conduct necessary background checks.
How Do I Become A Volunteer?
Volunteer requirements come from Little League or the state of California and are intended to protect our young players. Below requirements must be completed BEFORE you can begin duties as a volunteer.
To volunteer to be a Team Manager, Assistant Coach, or Scorekeeper, you must first register through our website. If selected as a volunteer that season, you'll receive a link with further instructions on how to complete the background check through JDP.
Scorekeepers need to learn how to use the GameChanger app to keep score and pitch count. Training is provided!
For ALL volunteers:
Annual background check. This is initiated through our website, so you must be registered first. You will receive an email with further instructions, and an email when approved.
**Beginning 2024**Annual completion of Child Abuse Awareness training. Please download the completed certificate and email to [email protected].
For Managers and Coaches only:
Annual completion of Safety & Skills clinics. Clinic schedule can be found on the District 33 website.

For Board of Directors:
To volunteer to be on the Board of Directors, the best way is to attend the Annual Meeting that is held in August. All Directors are elected to the Board by the TLL membership at the meeting, and positions are determined separately among the Directors at a later date. Vacancies can be filled at anytime by the Board. If you are interested in a Board position, please email us for more information.
Other volunteers will be requested by Team Managers and the Board throughout the season for help with Snack Bar, Team Parent, Uniforms, End-of-Season Awards, Sponsorship, Field Maintenance, and more!
