Here's the rule I'm attempting to set in stone: A player running from home is only permitted to slide into first base in order to avoid a collision. That's it. There is no other circumstance in which a baserunner is allowed to do it.
"AAA" - BASEBALL (Ages 10-11) This division of Little League promotes a higher level of competition than "AA" and emphasizes more of the standard rules of Little League baseball.
Players who have graduated high school but not attended college are eligible for the draft, as are those who have completed at least one year of junior college. Players attending four-year colleges are eligible to be drafted upon completing their junior year or turning 21 years old.
First base: Runners are not permitted to slide while attempting to reach the base unless the slide is to avoid a throw that pulls the first baseman off the bag. If the runner slides for any other reason, he/she will be called out. Once touching the base, a runner may slide in an attempt to return to the base.
Failure to do so will result in the player being called out and could result in an ejection from the game. The umpire has final say as to whether the runner made sufficient effort to avoid a collision. When in doubt players should SLIDE. Headfirst slides into all bases/home are allowed ONLY in 14u-19u.
The draft rotation follows the reverse order of finish from the previous season, with the last place team's manager receiving the first pick. For example, in a four-team league, the team that finished last in the previous season would get the 1st, 8th, 9th, and 16th picks through the first four rounds.
Sliding: Players are not permitted to slide head first in Little League play.
Little League does not have a “Must Slide” rule for a runner sliding into home or any other base. However, any runner is out when not making a physical attempt (to slide) in order to avoid a collision while a fielder who has the ball and is waiting to make the tag.
