We want to remind everyone to be diligent in preserving the safe environment that we all work very hard to provide. Here are some safety reminders that all Coaches, Parents and Players need to be aware of
1) There is NO on-deck circle in Little League.. The only player allowed to take swings before their at bat, is the 1st batter of every inning. Further, this should be done in close proximity to the batter's box. Even with this, Coaches need to be cognizant of the surroundings
2) Players are not allowed to TOUCH their bats until they are going up to bat.... Coaches need to be diligent on this one!!!!
3) No Player is allowed outside of the dugout until they are going up to bat.... The bench Coach needs to ensure that they run an organized dugout
4) No Siblings are allowed in the dugout at ANY time...THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS
5) Players who are "on-deck or on-double deck" should all have their helmets on
6) If you do not have enough coaches, you can ask any of the parents to assist you for that one game. However, we recommend that a Manager or Coach maintain the bench Coaches' job.
7) A player should not be placed in a position where he/she cannot protect themselves.
As a reminder, All of these items are in our Manager's Handbook, Safety Plan and on our website...If we work together to protect our children, we all win!!
Play it Safe, HTRBA!
