Safety
The safety and well-being of all participants in the Little League® program is paramount. Little League® promotes a player-centric program where young people grow up happy, healthy, and, above all, safe. Little League® strives to create an environment that is as safe as possible both on and off the field. Little League® does not tolerate any type of abuse against a minor, including, but not limited to, sexual, physical, mental, and emotional (as well as any type of bullying, hazing, or harassment). Little League's® goal is to prevent child abuse from occurring through required screenings, training and education, awareness, and mandated reporting of abuse.

Mandatory Training & Continuing Education: Annually require all volunteers to complete the Little League® Abuse Awareness Training. The league is responsible for ensuring all volunteers have completed the training.
