Pete,

Is diving over a fielder illegal in LL as well? I cannot find a reference to it. Does it qualify as a headfirst slide?


In LL 12 and under age groups you cannot dive over a fielder as IMO, that would constitute a head first slide, however, a runner may slide head first retreating to a base, so it is possible even in the 12 and under age groups for a runner to Dive over a fielder if they are retreating to a base.

In Jr.'s and above, it is legal for a runner to dive over a fielder.
