BATTING HELMETS FOR ADULT BASE COACHES ???

I received this from Little League International this morning and wanted to pass it along to all of you. 

 

April 17, 2008

Dear Little League Volunteer:

As you may have noticed, base coaches in professional baseball have begun wearing helmets. As a result, we have received inquiries about whether adult base coaches in Little League Baseball and Softball may wear helmets.  The answer is yes.  Adult base coaches may wear helmets.

Wearing a helmet is optional for adult base coaches in all levels of Little League Baseball and Softball. Rule 1.16 states, in part, "Use of a helmet by an adult base coach is optional." The type or style of helmet worn by adult base coaches also is optional.

However, batting helmets that meet NOCSAE specifications and bear the NOCSAE seal, are the only helmets that can be worn by Little League batters, base runners and player-base coaches at all levels, as well as on-deck batters in divisions involving players league age 13 and up. (The on-deck position does not exist for players league age 12 and under.)

Sincerely,

Little League International
