The organizers of youth baseball leagues, whether it be community recreation leagues, Babe Ruth, Carl Ripkin, Dixie Baseball, or Little League, must be highly conscious of safety when establishing rules and regulations governing the league. Further, it is important that all coaches have the proper training before being allowed to coach a team. Finally, the organizers must safeguard and protect the players by: (1) ensuring all coaches complete a coaching education program established by the national youth baseball body or the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS); (2) providing all coaches risk management training; (3) pretesting all players throughout an organized tryout; (4) ranking all players by age and experience; and (5) warning all players of the inherent dangers and risks in the sport of baseball.
