There are no sliding restrictions in LL which is amazing considering how safety concious they seem to be. In fact in LL you can "take out a fielder" and nothing happens accept maybe ejection. Very rarely where you have a situation where both conditions in LL's joke of a safety rule exist meaning Player having ACTUAL possession of the ball AND waiting to make a tag. That's why for the most part there is confusion in youth leagues regarding plays at the plate where contact is made as evidenced by this thread. Kuddos to the USSSA director for referring to the FED rule. All youth leagues should have a no Malicious contact rule and also sliding restrictions and my gut is that in the future they will.

I agree with you that LL's failure to prohibit hurdling (I would allow the FED exception that you can hurdle a prone player) is a safety oversight. |
