The purpose of 
“Play It Safe” 
is to provide information and counsel to League personnel on carrying out
basic safety policies and making Little League a safer and more enjoyable activity.
Safety practices should become routine discipline and a background reason for all activities… or in
other words become 
"safety-minded".
The four "E's" of safety:
EDUCATION 
- including suitable safety precautions in instructions, training, communications, drill work, and
follow-up.
EQUIPMENT
 - safe design, upkeep, and use of physical property, fields, personal protective equipment,
bleachers, bats, balls, etc.
ENTHUSIASM 
- the key to selling this important ingredient called safety, which can prevent painful and
disabling accidents.
ENFORCEMENT
 - applied as an incentive for skillful ball playing rather than as disciplinary action. Far better
results can be obtained by praise and recognition than by forcing Players into line. Tactful guidance must be
backed by firmness and justly-used discipline.

Child Abuse - A Five-Step Review 
to protect your Little Leaguers:
1.
Know what abuse is and know where to look.
Defining child abuse, and separating the truth from the myths, better enables us all to spot potentially dangerous situations.
2.
Educate parents, volunteers, and children.
Proper information is necessary to protect everyone. Let the children know that it’s never their fault.
3.
Follow the safety procedures and guidelines outlined.
Employ basic rules, such as the “buddy system,” to limit one-on-one interactions between minors and adults. These basic rules
can lessen child abuse from happening in the first place.
4.
Screen applicants carefully.
An effective screening process can keep potential child abusers out of our Little League programs and keep our kids safe.
5.
Don’t be afraid to speak out.
Children and adults need to feel safe to come forward. If an individual honestly feels something is wrong, laws are in place to
protect them.

Cold Weather
Use the “Wind Chill”
Clothing should not inhibit safe play
No heaters in the dugout – they’re a fire and burn hazard
Chattering teeth, uncontrolled shivering, or glazed eyes 
are signs a Player
is too cold
Temperature is relative to the individual, not to the perception of the
Coach
Rain
Light rain is ok so-long-as the field doesn’t soak
The OD or other Official will determine if fields are not playable

Lightning
Designate a Weather Monitor – not a coach or umpire
WLL uses a Lightning Monitor
If lightning is detected 
within 10 miles
, 
play must stop 
and
everyone must leave the fields
Teams may return 30 minutes after the 
last
 lightning strike
Thunder can usually be heard up to 10 miles away
30 seconds between lightning and thunder = ~6 miles

Hot / Humid Days
Stay cool and hydrated; Use cool wraps
No way to hydrate = No play
Be extra mindful to Players and attend to any Player that appears
too hot
If a Player is thirsty, they’re already dehydrated
Heat Exhaustion – 
stopped sweating, dizzy, nauseous, weak or
dazed.
Ask parents if their kids have ever had Heat Exhaustion

Key Points to Remember:
Practices should start with the basics
Evaluate Player’s individual skills
Use progressive drills to improve from the Player’s baseline. This is
likely to be different levels for each Player
Don’t ignore undeveloped Players. Rather, provide extra attention
to quickly improve their skills
Encourage practice at home. Provide drills to Players and Parents
to use at home.
