Q: What is Live Scan Background Check
A: SMVLL uses the Live Scan service to complete background checks on all volunteers.
Live Scan requires only one screening process during your time in our league, however it gives us real-time information about our volunteers as profiles change, and provides that information through numerous and far-reaching agencies. Many local leagues in District 68 and across the U.S. are adopting this platform for background checks.
This process is initiated by a fingerprint scan at one of our pre-season events at YAP or at many local participating Live Scan Providers. (see below)
The benefits of Live Scan include:
- Live Scan fingerprinting is collected only once and will suffice for the entire duration of your participation in SMVLL.
- Live Scan is operated by the Department of Justice.
- The service provides real-time information throughout the year.

Once you have completed the Live Scan process you will be added to the SMVLL approved volunteer list. When your volunteering time at SMVLL has come to an end, simply notify the league and you will be removed from this service.
Q: Who needs to participate in Live Scan?
A: To protect our players, all volunteers involved with our kids are required to be background-checked. This group includes managers, coaches, team parents, umpires, snack bar and barbecue workers (adults), and any other parents at practices and games that wish to go on the field side of the fence.

A: Live Scan can be completed at an SMVLL sponsored event, or at a local Live Scan Provider
