Think SAFETY! Some of these rules may
seem silly to you but are very important to Little League
-
Helmets must stay on players all
the way to the dugout.
-
Only 1 player out of the dugout
with a bat between innings at Majors and below.
-
2 players can be out of the
dugout between innings at Juniors but make sure they are
not swinging bats in close proximity to each other.
-
Catchers must wear a helmet when
warming up a pitcher in the bullpen.
-
Catchers must wear a helmet when
participating in infield warm-ups.
-
Coaches DO NOT warm up pitchers.
-
Players and coaches stay in the
dugouts. Coaches do not converse with spectators.
-
Base coaches stay in dugouts
until last warm up pitch is thrown.
-
No jewelry of any kind. Required
medical devices are OK but coaches should inform umpires
of then before the game.
-
Enforce the District 2 Thrown Bat
Policy and the Physical Contact Policy.
Umpires: Please start to enforce
these rules by warning players and coaches. If a player
becomes a repeat offender ask the coach to remove the player
from the game before ejecting the player. An ejection
requires a player or coach to miss the next game in addition
to the remainder of the current game. A coach can be in
jeopardy of ejection too if he/she repeatedly refuses to
help enforce these safety rules.
NVLL follows all Interleague Rules.
They talk about time limits, run
limits, continuous batting order.

The Little League District 2 staff has scheduled the
umpire training clinics for this spring. Please
see the District 2 Umpire web site at
http://www.eteamz.com/goid2/news/index.cfm?cat=512547.
We have two Rules clinics and one Mechanics clinic
scheduled in Nampa for our league's convenience,
however, any of the other Rules or Mechanics clinics
in the valley can be leveraged for certification.
- All umpires
must attend one of the Mechanics Clinics.
- Umpires in
their first or second year of umpiring must
also attend one of the Rules clinics. (Even though
the Rules clinic is not required for umpires that
have umpired three or more years, it is strongly
encouraged that they still attend.)
