Safety

The safety and well-being of all of our participants is paramount. Westfield Little League promotes a player centric program where young people grow up happy, healthy, and, above all, safe. We strive to create an environment that is as safe as possible both on and off the field. Westfield Little League does not tolerate any type of abuse against a minor, including, but not limited to, sexual, physical, mental, and emotional (as well as any type of bullying, hazing, or harassment). Our goal is to prevent child abuse from occurring through required screenings, training and education, awareness, and mandated reporting of abuse.

Safety Plan

Background Checks

We utilize the Little League volunteer application form to conduct annual background checks on coaches, umpires and other volunteers and prohibit anyone with any offenses that would disqualify them as a participant in any Little League activity.

Abuse Awareness Training

All of our volunteers are required to complete an Abuse Awareness Training provided by USA Baseball.

AED/CPR/First Aid Training

We offer annual training for our coaches to learn how to use the AED machines that we have at all fields. These trainings also cover CPR and basic first aid.
