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.
