Important Reminders - Rules and Procedures - Please Review and Communicate to Your Team
- Replacement ice packs for your first aid kits are stored in the equipment shed and may be obtained from a Board member. Please use these for practice if real ice is not available and request bags of ice cubes from the snack shack on game days. This keeps our costs down.
- Clean your dugout clean after your game.
- Players and coaches are not to wear jewelry. Only medical alert bracelets and wedding bands are allowed.
- Teams in all divisions MUST have an adult in the dugout at all times. If you don't have two adults, you must use two players as base coaches.
- All Players must be inside the dugout area. They are not allowed to stand in the doorway.
- In dugouts without doors, no one may stand in doorways, even adults. Everyone must be behind the protective screening.
- Do not lean bats against or hook bats into the chain link fencing.
- All equipment must be inside the dugout (the part of the dugout that is also covered on top).
- The player catching during infield or fly ball practice all divisions MUST wear a catcher's helmet with a dangling throat guard.
- Coaches and Managers may not take a job away from a player that a player could do (for example, warming up a pitcher). You ARE allowed to throw batting practice.
- A cellphone is required in the dugout in the event of an emergency, but cellphones must be kept in the dugout and not used on the field. This prevents distractions that could lead to injury.
- Umpires will determine when it's too dark to continue play. Umpires of PALL A-AAA division games will use the photo sensitive light in the Petaluma Valley Hospital parking (behind Kenneally field) as a guide. The light is visible looking north between the 1st base dugout and the snack shack from the end of the 3rd base dugout. The light can be seen between branches of the tall pine trees about half way up on the right.
- Patches are required on uniforms.
- A maximum of one rostered manager and two rostered coaches are allowed on the field or in the dugout during games. If a team wants to keep a book and communicate with the scorekeeper during the game, the book must be kept by one of these three adults inside the dugout. Communication with anyone outside the dugout is not allowed.
- You must always have a Safety Manual and a First Aid Kit at every practice and game.
