Safety Plan The AWLL Safety Plan (ASAP) outlines: Safety Roles & Responsibilities for Everyone (Coaches, umpires, spectators, parents and players) Behavior Guidelines Injury Procedures Inclement Weather Procedures Air Quality Guidelines Pitch Count Overview Bat Rules Summary Equipment & Gear Guidelines Concessions Safety Guidelines Background Check Requirements Injury Reporting If a player is injured during a game, practice, or other league-approved activity that may or may not require medical attention, league officials (i.e. manager/coach/designee) should follow these steps : Administer any initial first aid treatment (if necessary). Be sure to have the player’s Medical Release Form onsite or easily accessible so anyone who may treat the player is aware of any allergies or special conditions. Contact the player’s parent or legal guardian if they are not onsite at the time of the incident. Document the incident with as much detail as possible the ASAP Incident/Injury Tracking Report . Send a copy of the form to the AWLL Safety Officer. If medical attention is needed, be sure to have an AIG Accident Notification Claim Form on hand to provide to the family and explain our league’s Accident Insurance is through AIG. Learn more about the LL Insurance . If a player misses seven (7) or more continuous days of participation, a physician or other accredited medical provider must give written permission for a full return to play. In cases involving a possible concussion, the league must adhere to their respective state law with respect to removal of the player and return to play protocols after being released by a physician. It is recommended a player suspected of sustaining a concussion be removed for at least the remainder of that day and then comply with their respective state law for return to play guidelines.
