Coaches and Managers should follow the Sports League Ethics Code that related to the rules of conduct and standards of leadership for coaches. The 6 principles of the program are:

• Trustworthiness
• Respect
• Responsibility
• Fairness
• Caring
• Citizenship

The Northwood Little League Safety Manual encompasses all of the rules and guidelines necessary to maintain a safe and fun environment for our players, parents, and volunteers. Please refer to the manual if you have any questions on safety procedures.

What to Report

Any incident that causes any player, manager, coach, umpire, spectator or volunteer to receive medical treatment and/or first aid must be reported to the Safety Officer. This includes even passive treatments such as the evaluation and diagnosis of the extent of the injury or periods of rest. Failure to report may result in disqualification of post-season eligibility.

When to Report

All such incidents described above must be reported to the Safety Officer within 48 hours of the incident. The Team Manager and/or Team Safety Rep are responsible for completing and filing the injury report.

Where to File a Report

Long the pacesetter in youth sports safety, Little League has again taken the lead with the development of ASAP (A Safety Awareness Program). With the help of corporate sponsors Musco Lighting and AIG Insurance Companies, ASAP has created a network of more than 5600 safety officers working together for safety.
