Virginia Beach Little League is dedicated to bring your family and children a fun and safe baseball and softball environment. Virginia Beach Little League has an approved safety plan for the 2021 season that is in accordance with Little League’s ‘A Safety and Awareness Program (ASAP)’. Unfortunately, injuries occur and we handle each incident with kid gloves to ensure your family member receives the attention they deserve.
Each board member, team manager, coach and many others have been directed early on in the season to report any and all injuries no matter how small or large they may seem at the time. Our Safety Officer, Nathan Dann, has provided an emergency first aid kit to each team manager. If one should be missing from your team bag, immediately contact Nathan or go to the concession stand to get a replacement before your game starts. There is a first aid kit in the concession stand as well as an on site AED in the adjacent garage.
Should an injury occur (no matter how small) during a VBLL game and/or event, managers should have the appropriate forms on hand to document the incident and immediately report the injury via the forms listed below:
VBLL Medical Release Form
This medical release form is a requirement of all players for our 2021 spring season. This must be filled out and turned in to your player’s coach/manager prior to the start of practice and/or games.
Accident Report Form
This form is for managers, coaches, and board members needing to report and accident or injury. Managers, please print a few copies for yourselves and keep them with you at all times during a VBLL game and/or practice session. Reports are to be turned into our Safety Coordinator, Michele bock.
Accident Notification Form
At VBLL, we take player safety extremely serious. Baseball and Softball are contact sports, and with the youngsters we have learning the game, there may be an instance where and injury is imminent.
