NDG Minor Baseball

Those wishing to volunteer for any Little League activity must submit to a background check. As of last year Little League International has made yearly background checks mandatory for all leagues. Any organization that does not perform background checks on all their volunteers could have their Little League Charter removed permanently.

To facilitate this process, those wishing to volunteer as a coach or in any other capacity are required to arrive during the uniform pick-up day to fill out the police check paperwork. Information collected for police background checks is handled by Steve Glazer, our safety officer. At no time will NDG receive any personal information about an individual. Our safety officer will just receive a pass or fail with regards to the background check. For those who fail the background check, they will receive a letter in the mail from the processing department indicating the reason why they failed the check. At that time if they still wish to volunteer, they may discuss the situation with our safety officer in private where he will ask to see the letter from the processing department to see as to why your application was rejected. Then he will make a decision as to whether the past offence in such an offence that would put our children's safety in jeopardy as per Little League guidelines.

Unsung Volunteer

Sports Personality of the Year

Carey Ashton

Carey was nominated for Montreal's Sports Personality of the Year and attended the awards ceremony that was held at the Hotel Nelligan on Friday afternoon. Carey said it was a blast as he was in the presence of many Montreal sports luminaries including Bob Gainey who was the events guest speaker. In fact Carey stated when he won his award for Unsung Volunteer Sports Personality of the Year, one of the seven awards issued during the day, that he felt strange that he received a standing ovation of over ninety seconds in length while Gainey who proceeded Carey only had an ovation of around thirty seconds. Carey admits he was excited by the whole affair and very humbled by the whole experience.

Congratulations Carey!
