15 Why ASAP? The ASAP Mission: To increase awareness of the opportunities to provide a safer environment for kids and all Little League participants

16 ASAP Sharing Ideas Why We Care: Reducing avoidable injuries like this player hit by a bat in the dugout

17 CHLL Safety Rules 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.

18 CHLL Safety Rules Male catchers must wear the metal, fiber or plastic type cup and a long-model chest protector. All catchers must wear chest protectors with neck collar, throat guard, shin guards and catcher's helmet, all of which must meet Little League specifications and standards. All catchers must wear a mask, "dangling" type throat protector and catcher's helmet during practice, pitcher warm-up, and games. Catchers must wear a catcher's mitt (not a first baseman s mitt or fielder's glove) of any shape, size or weight consistent with protecting the hand. Catchers may not catch, whether warming up a pitcher, in practices, or games without wearing full catchers gear and an athletic cup as described above. At no time should "horse play" be permitted in dugouts or the playing field. Parents of players who wear glasses should be encouraged to provide "safety glasses" for their children. Managers will only use the official Little League balls and use reduced impact balls for younger players in T Ball and Coach Pitch. Shoes with metal spikes or cleats are not permitted. Shoes with molded cleats are permissible. (Exception: Juniors & Seniors - shoes with metal spikes or cleats are permitted.) Players will not wear watches, rings, pins, jewelry or other metallic items during practices or games. (Exception: Jewelry that alerts medical personnel to a specific condition is permissible and this must be taped in place.) No food, at any time, in the dugouts. Managers will never leave an unattended child at a practice or game. Report any present or potential safety hazard to a CHLL Board Member immediately. Make arrangements to have a cellular phone available when a game or practice is at a facility that does not have public phones. No alcohol or drugs allowed on the premises at any time. No medication will be taken at the facility unless administered directly by the child's parent. This includes aspirin and Tylenol. No playing in the parking lots at any time. No smoking in the park No throwing rocks. No climbing fences. Players and spectators should be alert at all times for foul balls and errant throws.
