You guys who are associated in any way with youth leagues should check out the National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS).
"The goal of the National Alliance for Youth Sports is to make sports safe and positive for Americas youth. The Alliance believes that this can only happen if:
-We provide children with a positive introduction to
youth sports;
-That administrators, coaches, and game officials are
well trained;
-Parents complete an orientation to understand the
important impact sports has on their childs
development and:
-Youth sports are implemented in accordance with the
National Standards for Youth Sports."
