Ireland Youth Sports is designed to teach and develop baseball and softball skills, along with good sportsmanship. IYS currently has 4 leagues. The leagues consist of a co-ed Tator Tots, Boys and Girls Instructional T-Ball, and Boys Pee Wee. IYS is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, which is elected by General Election Board Meetings. We look forward to an exciting and fun 2025!!!
The purpose of this document is to emphasize the importance of safety in the Ireland Little League and to identify important safety issues of which all individuals involved should be aware.
League administrators, coaches, parents and players should take safety issues very seriously.
In 1995, Little League Baseball introduced A Safety Awareness Program (ASAP) with the goal of re-emphasizing the position of a Safety Officer to “create awareness, through education and information, of the opportunities to provide a safer environment for kids and all participants of Little League Baseball”. This program has been very successful by dramatically decreasing little league baseball related injuries. This safety plan is qualified by the ASAP program.
The safety plan herein refers to play at the IYS Little League Baseball fields located in Ireland, Indiana. Further information beyond this document regarding safety and the
ASAP program is available by contacting the Ireland Little League Safety Officer listed.
There are several points addressed in this document that are required for an approved ASAP compliant Safety Plan.
