The Little League Rule Against Head First Slides
  • Little League forbids head first slides in Majors, Minors, and below, unless the runner is returning to a base. The runner is out and the ball is alive. Rule 7.08(a)(4)
  • Distinguish between a head first slide (out) and a trip or a stumble (nothing). If the runner is not near a base, or there is no play on the runner and no defensive player is nearby, it probably wasn't a slide.
