Field Safety
1. All pre-game warm-ups will be conducted behind the outfield fences. No throwing between the fields.
2. Warm-up throwing on the fields in the outfields only.
3. No players are allowed to throw balls in the batting cage area unless they are pitching from the practice mound. All other players must wait until they are in the fields beyond the outfield fence on Byrd South oron the game fields to do their warm-up throwing. Players should not be sent to the game fields prior to games without a coach or parent supervising them.
4. There is no throwing allowed in the dugout area unless a coach has allowed a player to warm-up for pitching purposes. A coach should monitor the warm-up throws the entire time. If a player is warming up a pitcher, the player must wear a mask.
5. Only the on-deck batter (or anyone else authorized by a coach) should be out of the dugout during a game. All other players should be sitting in the dugout.
6. Only players batting may swing a bat - no exceptions. Batting practice, soft toss, games. On deck batter may hold bat, but can not practice swing.
7. No player or child should chase foul balls across Sheppard St.
Background Checks
Little League programs nationwide are required to annually conduct a background check of Managers, Coaches, Board of Directors Members, Umpires, and any other persons, volunteers or hired workers who provide regular service to the league and/or have repetitive access to, or contact with, players or teams. The Little League Child Protection Program has been in place since 1997, and has sought to educate children and volunteers in ways to prevent child abusers from becoming involved in the local leagues. Any volunteer who refuses to participate in the program will be barred from involvement in the league. RICHMOND LITTLE LEAGUE (formerly West Richmond LL), IS A CHARTERED LEAGUE OF LITTLE LEAGUE, INC. AND IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THESE RULES. RLL appreciates your cooperation and support for this important safety program for our players.
If you have questions or concerns about the RLL Background Check Program, contact, RLL Safety Officer, Pierce Walsley.
