Lehotsky <br />March 26, 1990 <br />Little League Playing Field Requlremenrs <br />This Is to confirm there are two standards for Little League <br />play regarding playing field requirements. <br />1. For regular season play, the local league must provide <br />a playing field that has a backstop approximately <br />twenty-five feet behind home plate. A confined area, <br />lateral to the base paths, which is known as the <br />or dugout area. This area must have a protective <br />screen In front of th^ bench to protect the manager, <br />coach and players from foul halls hit by batters lined <br />toward the respective bench areas. There must be foul <br />lines placed on the field in the appropriate places. <br />An outfield fence and side line fences are desirable <br />but not required for regular season play. <br />2. For tournament olav. an outfield fence at 200 feet distance <br />and side line fences are required. Concession stand, <br />press box, scorer's booth, rest rooms, loud speaker system, <br />a scoreboard and proper foul poles are required in addition <br />CO the protected bench area and a proper back stop at twenty- <br />five feet distance. <br />My question to you and the group you represent—is the field <br />being developed for only regular season play or will this field be used <br />for local and national tournament play? <br />Every ’Ittle League wants a facility that Is complete and that <br />Is a natural desire and which subsequently becomes a request, and In time, <br />a reality. <br />If the community can provide \ model facility that will be <br />used to advantage without creating a hardsLiip on other programs, we would <br />highly recommend your consideration for approval. <br />P O Bo* 3485 Williamspon, Pennsylvania 17701 (717) 3?6 1921
