Maintain a stringent safety plan involving all volunteers working towards the common goal of ensuring player health and preventing injuries on all fields and at all levels of play. Play Safe, Play Hard, Play Fair
Avoid on-deck batters, keep equipment tidy (in dugout for AA-Majors, just outside dugout for Tee-Single A). Coaches should inspect equipment and remove faulty or damaged items that pose a safety risk. Players must wear helmets during batting practice and games. Catchers, at all times (even warming up a pitcher) must wear catcher’s gear, including helmet, mask with throat guard, chest protector, shin guards, and protective cup. Protective cups are recommended for all male players at all league events.
Environmental Factors Stop play if for poor light conditions and lighting/thunder. Do not return to field until you have not seen any lightning for 30 minutes. Umpires have the final word on stopping or resuming a game due to lightning (however in Tee-Ball and Single A levels, managers and coaches make this decision).
