Safety On the Field

Posted by Ehrin Anderson on Oct 28 2012 at 05:00PM PDT
Poway National Little League recognizes that there can be no other priority more important than ensuring that the baseball games are as safe as possible. The PNLL Board and Little League take safety issues very seriously. If players are playing in conditions where their safety is threatened, then we encourage parents to contact the PNLL Board so the issue can be addressed and resolved quickly. Little League has put in place many policies to protect children including pitch count limits, mandated catcher gear, helmets, no on deck circle and more. Further, PNLL requires helmets to be worn anytime a bat is swung, and no swinging of bats unless on the field and in a specific batting activity (i.e. no casual swings out by the bleachers near small children). At the same time PNLL also takes verbal threats to children's safety very seriously, even if just in joking. We urge everyone to understand that this is Little League Baseball. It is about community, family, friendships, developing character and learning life lessons. PNLL encourages safe playing conditions for our children in a positive environment where everyone can arrive and leave with a smile. Have fun out there!
