Q: What should be checked at the field before games and practices?

Little League's safety code asks leagues to: inspect the playing area often for holes, damage, glass and other foreign objects; make sure dugouts and bat racks are behind screens; inspect equipment regularly and make sure it fits. Helmets shouldn't be painted unless the manufacturer approves; set up a procedure for retrieving foul balls hit out of the playing area; arrange emergency medical services in advance and have a first-aid kit at the field. If you spot damaged league equipment or a hazard, tell the team manager or a board member so it can be dealt with right away.
