Safety Report "Hits and Runs, Bumps and Bruises: Health, Safety and Injury Prevention are the Keystone of Little League"
Dear Little League Friends:
For more than a half-century, Little League International has maintained extensive records on injuries in Little League games and practices. These records have been used over the years to monitor trends and, when necessary, to effect positive changes in the Rules and Regulations.
In many cases, these changes have eventually been adopted in other youth baseball and softball programs, as well as professional baseball. It is just one of the many aspects of Little League that sets us apart from all other youth baseball and softball programs.
For the first time, Little League International has produced a comprehensive report on the history of Little League's efforts and accomplishments regarding the wellbeing of its participants and volunteers. This white paper entitled "Hits and Runs, Bumps and Bruises: Health, Safety and Injury Prevention are the Keystone of Little League" provides an extensive review of advancements in these areas.
We invite you to review this important document, produced by the Little League International Communications Division. The white paper can be found at the Little League International web site by clicking on the link to the PDF below, or by pasting it into your web browser:

LittleLeagueCoach.org….Free Online Resource Site to Launch in March
Final touches are being made to the new online resource to be available for all Little League coaches and managers. Little League staff and Cramer, a company from Norwood Massachusetts, are currently testing functionality. Unlike certification and test to advance courses, Little League’s goal is to provide an all inclusive resource site that provides a little something for everyone without the “pressure” of testing and completing courses. The site is packed with video clips and articles ranging from the role of the Little League Coach to practice planning guidelines to how to field a ground ball. Here are some other categories on the site:
