SAFETY

The ASAP Mission:

To increase awareness of the

opportunities to provide a safer

environment for kids and all Little

League participants

Why ASAP?

Why We Care:

• Reducing avoidable injuries like this

player hit by a bat in the dugout

ASAP – Sharing Ideas

• All persons with extended exposure to players at practice, games, or concession stands must have completed a volunteer form

and undergone a background check.

• All players and volunteers must complete a league registration form for submittal to the Little League Data Center.

• Responsibility for safety procedures belong to every adult member of CHLL.

• Each player, manager, designated coach, and umpire shall use proper reasoning and care to prevent injury to himself/herself and to

others.

• Medical Release Forms will be held by Managers or the CHLL Board of Directors during the season.

• Managers and coaches must attend the mandatory first aid training and also the coaching clinics in February/March of each

season.

• Managers will be provided first aid kits with their equipment. First-aid kits will also be located at the concession stand.

• No games or practices will be held when weather or field conditions are poor, particularly when lighting is inadequate.

• Team equipment should be stored within the team dugout or behind screens, and not within the area defined by the umpires as ‘in play’.

• Only players, managers, coaches and umpires are permitted on the playing field or in the dugout during games and practice sessions.

• During games and practices, Players shall not have a bat in their hand unless they are wearing a batting helmet.

• Players are to swing their bats only when in the batter's box, at a tee stand, or in a cage working individually with a coach.

• There are absolutely no "on deck batters" allowed. Players cannot take practice swings unless closely supervised by a coach.

• During practice and games, all players should be alert and watching the batter on each pitch.

• No swinging bats or throwing baseballs at any time within the walkways and common areas of the complex.

• During warm-up drills, and practice drills, players should be spaced so that no one is endangered by wild throws or missed

catches.

• Players cannot throw the ball unless the targeted person is looking at them.

• All pre-game warm-ups should be performed within the confines of the playing field and not within areas that are frequented by, and thus

endangering spectators, (i.e., playing catch, pepper, swinging bats etc.)

• Equipment should be inspected regularly by coaches for the condition of the equipment as well as for proper fit.

• Batters must wear Little League approved protective helmets that bear the NOCSAE seal during batting practice and games.

• Except when a runner is returning to a base in divisions where stealing is allowed, head first slides are not permitted.

• Only break-away or injury prevention bases are used.
