The only place this can get tricky is SOME (not all) local bylaws and constitutions have stipulations on membership age and certain division coaches having to remain "members in good standing".
Some even used to say "adult" in membership definition but didn't specify an age (those constitutions that mimic the sample put out by LL in recent years do not have this issue.)
All of that said, I got my start at age 16 and next year will be my 30th as a volunteer.

I asked because you can't be an all-star coach unless you were a regular season coach and she'd need an ID to be a regular season coach.At the time my wife was a four time board member and my daughter just got done playing 10 years in the league...
I don’t know if she was officially rostered but she helped at games and practices.
I’m just pointing out the problem I ran into.
Anyone helping regularly needs to submit the Volunteer Form.

OK, so each team has a manager and up to two rostered coaches, the second of which can be as young as 16.
They are the only three people allowed in the dugout with the players during games.
You can have as many practice coaches as are appointed/approved (after passing the required background check). You cannot allow non-appointed/non-approved individuals to help at practices.
You need to inform Williamsport (data center?) of the names of your practice coaches so that if they are injured they will be covered by LL Insurance.
If a non-approved individual is injured while helping at practice: Houston, we have a problem!

All high schools in our area have photo IDs.
LL requires background checks of everyone required to submit a Volunteer Form. Which includes:
"managers; coaches; Board of Directors members; and any other persons, volunteers, or hired workers, who provide regular service to the league and/or have repetitive access to, or contact with, players or teams.”
Meaning to us, umpires.
And we do background checks on umpires.
But not 12-13 year old umpires who likely do not have a government-issued photo ID.
