A Safety Awareness Program (ASAP)
 Long the pacesetter in youth sports safety, Little League has again taken the lead with the development of ASAP (A Safety Awareness Program). With the help of corporate sponsors Musco Lighting and AIG Insurance Companies, ASAP has created a network of more than 5600 safety officers working together for safety.
ASAP is a grass roots program based on communication of ideas. Leagues across the country contribute their safety ideas to ASAP News, a colorful, monthly newsletter. Safety officers can then find out what their peers are doing to make things "safer for the kids."
A safety officer in Georgia may see what a Nebraska league did to maintain safety during a heat wave. A safety officer in California whose concession stand is less than orderly may use the plan for concession stand safety submitted by a New Jersey league.
Introduced in 1994, ASAP has already increased Little League's overall safety awareness and reduced insurance costs for participating leagues. This summer, the annual ASAP Awards will recognize the leagues with the best safety programs.
Red Land Little League...and ASAP!
Red Land Little League has been a proud participant of ASAP for several years. As part of this participation, our league Safety Officer develops an annual Safety Plan in accordance with the requirements of ASAP and submits it to Little League for approval. With approval, our league then receives a "20% discount" on our accident insurance premium.
If anyone has a suggestion, question or concern regarding safety, please feel free to contact our league Safety Officer, Mike Stoey at equipmentandsafety@redlandlittleleague.com or 938-3024.
