Wow. I googled it and quickly found this right on the official Little League website. Talk about foreshadowing.......
"Stealing and Relaying of Pitch Selection and Location
Starting in 2017, local league umpires will have the option to adopt the rule that the stealing and relaying of signs to alert the batter of pitch selection and/or location is unsportsmanlike behavior. If, in the judgment of the umpire, this behavior is occurring, both the player and the manager may be ejected from the game. The same rule will be mandated during tournament play."
