All Stars / TOC
Hosted by District 28
- Bring all necessary forms when you check in.
Volunteer Certifications:
All Managers, Coaches, Administrators, and Sports Officials must complete specific training and certifications before engaging with players. This includes:
Additionally, Little League International requires the JDP background check for all volunteers. Some of these requirements should have been fulfilled before the season started. Please ensure compliance to avoid any disruptions.
All of these will be required in your ALL-STAR binders. *KEEP YOUR DOCUMENTS! They can be used for future seasons*
- Baseballs: Please make sure the teams are arriving to the games with the correct baseballs (RS-T) in hand.
- Manager must have scorekeepers, pitch counters, and announcers picked prior to arriving at check in. To limit delays, Managers should check in 1 hour before game time.
- Scorekeepers/pitch counting are to be seated at the scorekeepers table we have assigned. NO - they cannot sit in the stands. NO - family or friends cannot sit with them in the booth! (Please see the staff if their kids require accommodation). We will accommodate as best as we can. We need everyone to pay close attention to the game to prevent any issues from arising.
- KEEP PARENTS AWAY FROM THE SCOREBOX AND THE DUGOUTS While the situation has improved, we still observe people approaching the dugouts to talk to players, coaches, or managers. If this behavior continues, we may issue a warning to the individual involved. Alternatively, we will just eject a coach or manager for their fans not following this simple rule.
- Players MUST remain in the dugout unless they are heading to and from the restroom. Managers must also notify the umpire if they have a player or coach going to exit the game for a restroom break. No, this does not include a quick stop to talk to friends or family in the stands.
- Absolutely NO food in the dugout
- Eye Black: Recently, some players have been wearing excessive eye black. A few years ago, LLI implemented restrictions for televised games, allowing only a single line under the eyes. While our games are not televised, we will also limit to a single line under the eyes.
