TRAINING FOR COACHES

All Coaches and Assistant Coaches are required to complete concussion training and abuse awareness training, as well as pass a background check. 

All Concussion training is handled by https://nfhslearn.com/ 

Please create an accounts on these sites and email [email protected] with the completion information. 

All coaches interested in coaching in the International Tournament (All-Stars) also must take the Diamond Leader training.
HLL recommends that all coaches take this training even if they do not plan to coach in the post-season.  



SAFETY TIPS

Helmets

Use any time players are swinging bats, are around others with bats or running bases.


Supervision

Watch your players carefully at all times.


Bats and Balls

No player should pick up a bat or ball unless a supervising adult has said it is OK. Players should never throw to another player unless that player is looking.


Be Cautious

If you don't think your players are ready for a particular drill, just choose another. You can also vary drills to ensure safety by rolling grounders instead of hitting fly balls, using soft-core or tennis balls instead of baseballs.


Spacing

Any time more than one player is swinging a bat or throwing a ball, make sure there is plenty of distance between everyone. Structure practice so that there will never be players from one drill running through another to chase loose balls, etc. Players not actively participating should be stationed in protected areas.


First Aid 

Always carry a first-aid kit and instant ice packs. Keep parent and emergency phone numbers handy in case of more serious injuries.
