Field Lighting Safety
Night games have been
permitted in Little League starting in 1957 with the second Little
League International Congress in Chicago. Standards set by the
Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) of North America were adopted by
Little League Baseball in 1957, and have been updated with
recommendations from the National Electric Code, the Uniform Building
Code, and others.
Over the years, these
standards have been refined and have been adopted by Little League
Baseball, the National Recreation Society and other organizations. THE
IMPORTANCE OF ADHERING TO THESE STANDARDS CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED, TO
ASSURE THE UNIFORMITY OF LIGHTING LITTLE LEAGUE FIELDS MAKES THE GAME
SAFER FOR CHILDREN AND VOLUNTEERS. ALL LIGHTING SYSTEMS MUST COMPLY
WITH LITTLE LEAGUE STANDARDS, WITHOUT REGARD TO WHO INSTALLS OR FINANCES
THE SYSTEM (such as
city, county, private individual, etc.).
The District
Administrator (and each local Little League President) are directly
responsible for ensuring that any fields on which night games are
played within his/her league or district are up to these standards. The
potential liability risks we all face makes compliance even more
imperative. Annually, all lighting systems must be checked twice --
before the season begins and before tournament play.
