Introduced in 1995 and long the pacesetter in youth sports safety, Little League has taken the lead with the development of ASAP (A Safety Awareness Program).  With the help of corporate sponsors, Musco Lighting and AIG Insurance, ASAP has increased overall safety awareness, reduced injuries by 80% and lowered insurance costs for participating leagues.

Rutland Little League has created this Safety Awareness Program Manual to memorialize our long standing commitment to the safety of our youth.

Used in conjunction with the Little League Rule Book, Local Option Rules, the Play it Safe book, Protecting Young Pitchers Arms guide, and training for managers, coaches and other volunteers, this manual is part of the overall safety plan for our league.

It is the responsibility of all Board Members, Coaches and Volunteers to ensure this manual is understood and used on a daily base to insure our safe environment for our community as we enjoy the games of baseball and softball. 

Along with all other aspects of the game, Safety is a Team Sport!
