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.

Sliding and diving are two different animals. Sliding head first retreating to a base, is different than diving over a fielder in retreating to a base. Read the definitions in a dictionary.
