LLB Unveils Free On-Line Resource Center Website for Coaches and Managers
LLB.orgLittle League International recognizes and appreciates the challenges that come with being a Little League manager or coach, so it has developed a free on-line coaching resource that Little League managers and coaches can turn to for reference, education, or to stay current with the latest drills and coaching techniques.

The welcome page of the Little League Coach Resource Center may be accessed at www.LittleLeagueCoach.org. The Little League Coach Resource Center is a free service created by Little League International. The Web site includes interactive videos and related written content to help support Little League managers and coaches enter the 2008 season current, confident and prepared.

2008 Pitching Changes
Little League of America, in consultation with the American Sports Medicine Institute, has implemented pitching regulation changes for the 2008 regular season. The following are the significant enhancements:

  • A pitch limit for pitchers league age 7-8 has been added, with a maximum of 50 pitches per day. Previously, the limit for these ages was the same as for pitchers who were league age 9-10.
  • A provision has been added that prohibits a player who has been removed as a pitcher in a game from playing the position of catcher for the remainder of that day. This recommendation is intended to further prevent overuse injuries. The position of catcher has the second-most overuse injuries, which can be acerbated by moving from pitcher to catcher in the same day. However, moving from pitcher to any of the other seven positions, or from catcher to pitcher, apparently does not cause the same concerns.
  • Pitchers league age 16 and under who deliver 41 or more pitches in a game must also have a game of rest, in addition to the number of days rest prescribed. Pitchers league age 17-18 who deliver 51 or more pitches in a game must also have a game of rest, in addition to the number of days rest prescribed. This enhancement is designed to help ensure that teams develop more pitchers, and to help ensure that scheduling anomalies do not result in undue advantages for some teams.
