Babe Ruth/Cal Ripken requires volunteers to complete a mandatory background check process every two years. The clearance process requires some planning, approximately two hours of your time, and is accomplished by following the steps below:
1. Fulfill Pennsylvania state law youth volunteer background clearance requirements by obtaining new or submitting your valid/current (i.e., dated within the last 2 years):
a. PA Act 151 child abuse history certification. Certifications can be obtained at: https.//www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home
b. PA state police criminal record check. Record checks are available at: https://epatch.state.pa.us/Home.jsp)
c. Federal Criminal History Record - If you are a Pennsylvania resident for at least 10 consecutive years, you can substitute the fingerprint requirement with a signed league residency affidavit at: https://cdn1.sportngin.com/attachments/document/4d91-3169418/Background_Check.pdf?_gl=1*1x82ooe*_ga*MjU5MjY2MjMuMTcxMDg3MDI3NQ..*_ga_PQ25JN9PJ8*MTcxMjA4MDUyNS40NS4xLjE3MTIwODIzODAuMC4wLjA.#_ga=2.3670579.264848427.1711987837-25926623.1710870275
If you have not lived in Pennsylvania for 10 consecutive years, you require fingerprints. Fingerprint information is available online at https://www.dhs.pa.gov/providers/Clearances-and-Licensing/Pages/default.aspx
Note that the mandatory Pennsylvania background checks, reports, and affidavits must be in an electronic file for Babe Ruth clearance application uploading.
