Who is allowed in the dugout during a game?
The Little League rule book states “No one except eligible players in uniform, a manager and not more than two coaches shall occupy the bench or dugout.” (3.17) At LCB we strictly apply that rule for Minior League and older, however we understand that Tee Ball and Training League need a little more help in the dugout with crowd control. For that reason we permit up to 3 coaches and 3 Team Moms to be registered with each team, plus the manager, at those age levels. ALL managers, coaches, Team Moms, and anyone else assisting on the field during practices and games at all age levels are required to submit a Little League volunteer application and pass a background check. Under no circumstances will anyone be allowed on the field unless they have done so. Managers, or their substitute coaches, are obligated to ensure no one is on the field or in the dugout unless they are an approved volunteer. We appreciate the enthusiasm and willingness on the part of some parents to assist in the dugout
