TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Glastonbury Little League has implemented a comprehensive and coordinated Player Training and Development Program. This Program is designed to have players achieve certain levels of skills in basic baseball fundamentals as they progress upwards in each of our Divisions of play. While building self esteem and providing enjoyment of the game is paramount in our philosophy, it is important for us to strive to impart as much baseball skills and knowledge as possible in each player. Coaches are to assure fields and equipment are oin proper condition prior to the start of practices

Conducting a successful practice

Glastonbury Little League has been conducting All Star and Baseball Summer Camps for many seasons. Keeping all players busy and maximizing the amount of practice time available has proven to be the key to a successful practice. The use of "Skill Stations" has proven extremely effective. Basically, for the first half of the practice, the team is divided in groups of three or four players. The groups are placed in various areas(stations) of the field. Individual baseball skills are taught at each station such as throwing, bunting, hitting, etc. After 10-12 minutes the groups are rotated to a different station. This rotation continues until all groups have processed thru each skill station. The balance of the practice is used to develop team skills such as infield defense, relays, etc.

Minor League Skills

Hitting: Players should be taught the following hitting skills: The hitter should approach the plate with confidence believing that he/she can and not hope to hit the ball. Should a strikeout occur, the player is encouraged to not get angry or despair but to learn from the event and strive to correct for the next at bat. The batter should not decide to swing but rather, decide not to swing. This helps the batter to be better physically and mentally prepared to hit. A controlled swing, about 70% of a full power swing, coupled with a short 6 inch stride towards the pitcher should be taught. Good hip rotation with the rear foot pointing to the pitcher at the completion of the swing. The head should remain down. teach the players to not look up immediately upon hitting the ball. The hitter should be taught to hit the ball out in front of the plate to maximize power.

Bunting: A square stance, bat out in front and level, facing the pitcher with knees flexed is important. The hitter should be taught not to move the bat up and down to hit the ball but rather to move the body up and down keeping the head in the same relationship with the bat. Hit the ball with a "draw" on the bat so as to create a soft touch. so that the ball stops approximately 10 feet from home plate For advanced hitters, teach them to bunt to positions. Catching Fly Balls: Catching fly balls should be done with two hands and if possible in a ready to throw position. This increase chances for a successful catch and quickens the ensuing throw. Keep the ball in front of the player

Fielding Grounders: Center the ground ball with the body if at all possible. Keep the glove down while awaiting on the ball. If possible the throwing foot should be slightly forward. Encourage the players to field with soft hands and not swipe at the ball. The fielded ball is brought up to the stomach with the head down watching the ball and glove being tucked into the belly button while the feet initiate the throw.

Throwing: Players are to be taught the crow hop. Overhand throws are encouraged. Do not overthrow, it is better at this level to have a controlled, accurate throw rather than a fast wild throw. Outfielders should be advised to not thrown arcing throws. They should throw straight in the infield even if the ball bounces to its destination. This is a good age to start long tossing with players. This helps to develop arm strength. Start at about 15 feet and gradually move back as you throw and catch with players to a distance they can handle.

Pitching: The five basic steps to pitching should be taught to all players. These will be covered at the Managers' meeting. A pitcher should be advised to change speeds occasionally to keep the batter off stride. Care must be taken not to overuse a young pitching arm. A pitch count should be taken during games. 50 to 60 pitches is more than enough for a 8 thru 10 year old arm.

Base running: Teach runners to over run first base when beating out a ground ball. Teach them how to cut the corners sharp when rounding the bases as well as running in as straight a line as possible. Teach them about tagging up, looking for the base coach for help. Aggressive base running is recommended.

Stealing: Stealing is permitted, teach them to look for signs from the coach. It is strongly recommended that you use the base coach to relay the sign. This keeps more players involved in the game. The runner should have the proper stance before leaving the base and not the "Little League" track stance. The kids should be taught the cross-over step that they will be eventually using in the older Leagues.

Relays: Out fielders are to be taught to hit the relay infielder. A ball hit to left field should be relayed to the shortstop who is out in short left field and aligned with the appropriate base. A ball hit to right is relayed to the second base who is positioned in short right. A ball hit to center would be relayed to either the second baseman or shortstop depending on the base running situation. It is recommended that you begin with all relays be towards the second base so that the players can begin to understand the concept of a relay. If they become proficient at this, you may introduce relaying to the correct base. The relay player should be taught the proper relay position(ready to throw) and to align himself with the base. An advanced technique on this skill is for the baseman to help him align("go left","go right").

Catcher : The catcher should be taught the proper position, squatted down, on the toes not on the knees, throwing hand protected behind the right knee. He/she should be taught to slide over to block a wild pitch. The catcher should be encouraged to make every throw back to the pitcher accurately. Overthrows delay the game, put the pitcher off stride and creates bad habits that are carried over to the Major League where runners can steal on bad throws. Coaches should start teaching how to frame a pitch. Cover first on a grounder when no one is one base.

Defensive positions: Teach all positions to all players with emphasis on positions preferred by individual players. It is critical to teach players to cover their positions while a defensive play is being made.

Baseball knowledge: Players should learn the following: When to tag up When to run using sound base running judgment(this takes time to develop...be patient) When to back up plays Basic concept of baseball signs and their use...again use your base coach. Throwing ahead of the lead runner. not to the pitcher to stop play Learning to think ahead while on defense i.e. "What will I do if the ball is hit to me?"

PHILOSOPHY...... Most importantly, the coach is to be sensitive to the physical and emotional needs of each player. He/She must stress the fun aspect of the game. A young player ending the season with more self esteem and confidence at the end of the season than at the beginning is the true measure of a successful youth sports coach

SECTION 2 SAFETY Safety Coach Guidelines Safety Coach: One coach shall be designated the Team Safety Coach. A league provided cap would be used to maintain visible emphasis on safety.

Why a safety coach: GLL has an excellent record regarding player injuries, however there have been incidents that could have been avoided by more visible and preventive actions. Therefore, GLL is adopting a policy to elevate the importance of safety by assigning Safety Coach to each of its teams in every division of play. Responsibility: Implementing Glastonbury Little League Safety Policy. Highlights are listed below – see Section 2 of the GLL Coaches Manual for additional description.

Accidents Evaluate the extent of the injury. Excessive bleeding/suspected bone injury or other major injury, call 911. Direct all other players away. Stay with injured player until help arrives and direct the responding officer to the player. Notify parents. Maintain an account of the incident and report to League President and Board Safety Officer as soon as practical. Treat minor injuries (cuts, abrasions, etc with first aid kit)

Preventive Action ➢ Bring the player’s phone contact list to every game and practice along with cell phone. ➢ Become aware of players special medical needs (i.e. allergies, bee stings, etc) ➢ Never leave a player unattended after game or practice (thru Junior League). ➢ Dugout Discipline – Assure all coaches remain IN the dugout during game situations, entry shall be unobstructed, bats in bat racks, and equipment bags hung or stored under benches. ➢ Assure no On-Deck Batters, no person shall handle a bat during the game unless they are at the plate or approaching the batters box ➢ Assure base runners and base coaches are wearing league-approved helmets. Bats shall be clear of the playing area. Catchers must wear full protective gear (masks with throat guard, shin guards, chest protectors and cups) when catching or warming up pitchers. ➢ Assure players are not wearing watches, rings, or jewelry during the game. ➢ Reinforce the umpire’s decision to call games for lightning and darkness ➢ Evaluate playability of the field and condition of the equipment prior to games. Report unsafe field and equipment conditions to Safety Officer and/or League President ➢ Ensure a replenished first aid kit is available for minor accidents ➢ Assure field equipment box is closed and latched during games ➢ Assure that only League approved individuals are acting as coaches during games and practices . Education ➢ Prohibit head first slides ➢ Monitor batter count for maximum number of batters faced by one pitcher ➢ Collision avoidance – call for the ball when fielding; proper slides in base running situations. ➢ Proper release of bat after a hit (no thrown bat) ➢ Don’t turn your back on the baseball! ➢ Proper catcher position: equipment forward, fist behind gloved hand or shin guard. ➢ Stress location and change of speed for pitchers – curve balls must not be used in this league. ➢ -LIGHTNING FACTS AND SAFETY TIPS

2) To determine how far away a lightning strike is, count the number of seconds between the flash and when you hear the rumble of thunder. Divide this number by 5 to get the distance (in miles) lightning is away from you. (i.e. count to 5 and storm is ONE (1) MILE AWAY!!

3) Once the lightning is 6 miles away (30 seconds between lightning flash and thunder), take shelter!

4) Outside activities should not be resumed until 30 minutes after the last audible thunder as lightning can strike up to 20 miles from the storm cell.

5) Take shelter in a safe building like a large enclosed structure or an automobile. Do NOT take shelter in a baseball dugout, picnic shelter or under a tree.

6) Know the forecast. If the forecast calls for thunderstorms, be on the lookout for threatening skies and be prepared to take shelter if dangerous weather approaches. Bring a transistor radio…listed to AM band for static or get live-local weather updates every 10 minutes from WTIC NEWS-TALK 1080.

7) Even though the thunderstorm may be as far away as 20 miles, a “bolt from the blue” can happen. If hair on people’s head or body “stands up”, even if it’s sunny where you are, lightning is about to strike…take shelter.

8) If someone is struck by lightning, call 911 immediately. If the victim has no pulse for 20-30 seconds, start CPR. But make sure the safety of others is not jeopardized. It is unsafe to be outside if a thunderstorm is near or in progress (lightning can strike in the same place twice).

Lightning kills more people each year (80-100) than tornadoes and hurricanes combined

Glastonbury Little League.. A copy of the following is included in each of the Coaches and Umpires Manual and is posted in our web site Child Abuse Awareness and Reporting Policy

Legislative Mandates The State of Connecticut and the Federal government both have legislated mandates pertaining to the reporting of instances of Child Abuse by all individuals in positions of interacting with children. The safety and well-being of all participants in the GLL program is paramount. As adults, we want to ensure that the young people playing in our program are able to grow up happy, healthy and, above all, safe. Whether they are our children, or the children of others, each of us has a responsibility to protect them. Unfortunately, there are those who would seek to do harm to these children, to rob them of their right to feel safe and grow up in a free and healthy environment. As a result of the Federal legislation and combined with Connecticut law, those interacting with children must act as mandatory reporters and therefore, they are required to report or cause a report to be made when, they have reasonable cause to suspect or believe that a child under the age of 18 has been abused, neglected or is placed in imminent risk of serious harm. (Connecticut General Statutes §17a-101a) or where child abuse occurs where a child has had physical injury inflicted upon him or her other than by accidental means, has injuries at variance with history given of them, or is in a condition resulting in maltreatment, such as, but not limited to, malnutrition, sexual molestation or exploitation, deprivation of necessities, emotional maltreatment or cruel punishment. (Connecticut General Statutes §46b- 120) or where child neglect occurs where a child has been abandoned, is being denied proper care and attention physically, emotionally, or morally, or is being permitted to live under conditions, circumstances or associations injurious to his well-being. (Connecticut General Statutes §46b-120). With this in mind, we need to better understand what child abuse is.

What is Child Abuse? Defining child abuse is the first step in battling it. Child abuse can take several different forms: Physical abuse of a child is when a parent or caregiver causes any non-accidental physical injury to a child. There are many signs of physical abuse. If you see any of the following signs, please get help right away. Signs of physical abuse in a child: Physical: • Any injury to a child who is not crawling yet • Visible and severe injuries • Injuries at different stages of healing • On different surfaces of the body • Unexplained or explained in a way that doesn’t make sense • Distinctive shape • Frequency, timing and history of injuries (frequent, after weekends, vacations, school absences) Behavioral:

38 • Aggression toward peers, pets, other animals • Seems afraid of parents or other adults • Fear, withdrawal, depression, anxiety • Wears long sleeves out of season • Violent themes in fantasy, art, etc. • Nightmares, insomnia • Reports injury, severe discipline • Immaturity, acting out, emotional and behavior extremes • Self-destructive behavior or attitudes

28.3% of adults report being physically abused as a child.1

Sexual abuse occurs when an adult uses a child for sexual purposes or involves a child in sexual acts. It also includes when a child who is older or more powerful uses another child for sexual gratification or excitement. Signs of sexual abuse of a child: Physical: • Difficulty sitting, walking, bowel problems • Torn, stained, bloody undergarments • Bleeding, bruises, pain, swelling, itching of genital area • Frequent urinary tract infections or yeast infections • Any sexually transmitted disease or related symptoms Behavioral: • Doesn’t want to change clothes (e.g., for P.E.) • Withdrawn, depressed, anxious • Eating disorders, preoccupation with body • Aggression, delinquency, poor peer relationships • Poor self-image, poor self-care, lack of confidence • Sudden absenteeism, decline in school performance • Substance abuse, running away, recklessness, suicide attempts • Sleep disturbance, fear of bedtime, nightmares, bed wetting (at advanced age) • Sexual acting out, excessive masturbation • Unusual or repetitive soothing behaviors (hand-washing, pacing, rocking, etc.) • Sexual behavior or knowledge that is advanced or unusual • Reports sexual abuse

1 Statistic provided by Childhelp.org 39

20.7% of adults report being sexually abused as a child.2

Definition of Child Sexual Abuse. Child Sexual Abuse can be defined as the exploitation of a child by an older child, teen, or adult for the personal gratification of the abusive individual. This form of abuse could involve a range of sexual activities, from touching to non-touching offenses, and may also include acts that are considered non-sexual but are done for the gratification of the abuser. This might include talking to a child in a sexually explicit way, voyeurism, or exposure of private parts to a victim and/or victim’s exposure of his or her private parts

When a parent or caregiver harms a child’s mental and social development, or causes severe emotional harm, it is considered emotional abuse. While a single incident may be abuse, most often emotional abuse is a pattern of behavior that causes damage over time. Signs of emotional abuse in a child: Physical: • Delays in development • Wetting bed, pants • Speech disorders • Health problems like ulcers, skin disorders • Obesity and weight fluctuation Behavioral: • Habits like sucking, biting, rocking • Learning disabilities and developmental delays • Overly compliant or defensive • Extreme emotions, aggression, withdrawal • Anxieties, phobias, sleep disorders • Destructive or anti-social behaviors (violence, cruelty, vandalism, stealing, cheating, lying) • Behavior that is inappropriate for age (too adult, too infantile) • Suicidal thoughts and behaviors

10.6% of adults report being emotionally abused as a child.3

Child neglect is when a parent or caregiver does not give the care, supervision, affection and support needed for a child’s health, safety and well-being. Child neglect includes: • Physical neglect and inadequate supervision. Examples of physical neglect: • Deserting a child or refusing to take custody of a child who is under your care

2 Statistic provided by Childhelp.org 3 Statistic provided by Childhelp.org 40 • Repeatedly leaving a child in another’s custody for days or weeks at a time • Failing to provide enough healthy food and drink • Failing to provide clothes that are appropriate to the weather • Failing to ensure adequate personal hygiene • Not supervising a child appropriately • Leaving the child with an inappropriate caregiver • Exposing a child to unsafe/unsanitary environments or situations

• Emotional neglect. Examples of emotional neglect: • Ignoring a child’s need for attention, affection and emotional support • Exposing a child to extreme or frequent violence, especially domestic violence • Permitting a child to use drugs, use alcohol, or engage in crime • Keeping a child isolated from friends and loved ones

• Medical neglect. Examples of medical neglect: • Not taking child to hospital or appropriate medical professional for serious illness or injury • Keeping a child from getting needed treatment • Not providing preventative medical and dental care • Failing to follow medical recommendations for a child

While a single indicator may not be cause for alarm, children who are neglected often show that they need help: • Clothing that is the wrong size, in disrepair, dirty, or not right for the weather • Often hungry, stockpiles food, seeks food, may even show signs of malnutrition (like distended belly, protruding bones) • Very low body weight, height for age • Often tired, sleepy, listless • Hygiene problems, body odor • Talks about caring for younger siblings, not having a caregiver at home • Untreated medical and dental problems, incomplete immunizations • Truancy, frequently incomplete homework, frequent changes of school

A crucial step in stopping child abuse before it happens is knowing who might be a child abuser, and where child abuse might happen. For better or worse, the answer to each question is simple. Where can it happen? Anywhere. Who could be a child abuser? Anyone.

Who are the reporters? 41 The legislatively adopted Federal “Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Act of 2017” mandates that all amateur sports organizations, which participate in an interstate or international amateur athletic competition and whose membership includes any adult who is in regular contact with an amateur athlete who is a minor must report suspected child abuse, including sexual abuse, within 24 hours to law enforcement. In the case of Glastonbury Little League, this would be ADULT(over 18 years old) Administrators, Coaches, Managers, Umpires, Concession Staff. An individual who is required, but fails, to report suspected child sexual abuse is subject to criminal penalties. If an individual suspects a case of abuse within GLL, they should report it within 12 hours of the alleged incident to the appropriate child services organization and/or local law enforcement as well as, GLL President and CT. District 7 Administrator. There is a “safe harbor” for good faith reporting,

Immunity from liability. Concern is often expressed over the potential for criminal or civil liability if a report of abuse is subsequently found to be unsubstantiated. However, we want adults and Little Leaguers to understand that they shouldn’t be afraid to come forward in these cases, even if it isn’t required and even if there is a possibility of being wrong. All states provide immunity from liability to those who report suspected child abuse in “good faith.” At the same time, there are also rules in place to protect adults who prove to have been inappropriately accused. Little League policies prohibit retaliation of any kind when a good faith report of child abuse is made. Reports of Child abuse will be handled in a confidential manner by the recipients of those reports.

The following Message is automatically sent to all registering GLL Coaches in regards to the JDP Background Checks Protocols and Requirements Thank-you for volunteering to coach in the 2019 Regular season Baseball program. Please attend the live registration on Friday evening, January 11th or Saturday morning, January 12th in the Gideon Welles Cafeteria. We will direct you to the coaches station to complete your Coach application card and note the division you which to coach in and if you have any partner preference. GLL volunteers will be there to answer your questions. Subsequently, you will be advised about an upcoming Coach meeting where details of your team assignment will be available. GLL has long performed background checks on all of its volunteers to assure a safe environment for our children. This season, we are upgrading our process to meet mandates issued both at the state and federal level on organizations such as ours. LL has partnered with JDP, a risk mitigating company, to assist local LL programs to carry out this task. At some point after registering with GLL, the first, middle, last names and email address of Coach Applicants will be sent to JDP for batch processing. Subsequent reports will be available to the GLL President and affected candidate. It is important that the aforementioned items are listed in your registration to minimize mistaken identities. Additional, state and federal now mandates youth sports volunteers to be “reporters” of child abuse occurences should they be noted. The following linked document was developed to assist us in implementing those mandates. This issue will be reviewed at all coaches meetings
