Dear Little League Volunteers:

The new publication, “Protecting Young Pitching Arms: The Little League Pitch Count Regulation Guide for Parents, Coaches, and League Officials,” is being printed and bound. Each league worldwide will receive 20 free copies of the 16-page publication in the next few weeks. District Administrators will receive five copies each.

However, you don’t have to wait for your copy. The entire publication is now available for downloading, free of charge, at http://www.littleleague.org/media/pitch_count_publication.pdf

Just click on the link to view it as a PDF file. The publication can be saved onto your computer, and can be printed at will for others in your league.

The publication includes great information on the best ways to implement the Pitch Count Regulation in your league, as well as tips on the care and conditioning of the pitching arm, sample forms, and much more.

Little League International wishes to thank the thousands of volunteers and hundreds of local Little Leagues that took part in the Pitch Count Pilot Program during the past two seasons. Your input helped make this publication possible!
