General Bat Safety
Little League Rule 1.08: THERE IS NO ON DECK BATTER
The ONLY player permitted to swing a bat is the batter up to the plate.
Neither outside the dugouts, nor inside the fenced dugouts, should any player be swinging a bat.
Coaches, Managers and Parents: Please assist each other in keeping an eye out. As discussed in our safety briefing, the batting team is often focused on the field with no one to monitor the dugout behind him. The opposing team manager is asked to stop play to politely correct any player swinging a bat in or near the dugouts.
Lack of supervision can result in this: dontswingposter.pdf
Lightning Safety
- Clear fields immediately after thunder has been heard or lightning seen!
- Wait 30 minutes before returning to play after last sign of lightning activity in your area.
