Parents / Information

The Little League Parent/Volunteer Pledge:

I will teach all children to play fair and do their best

I will positively support all managers, coaches and players

I will respect the decisions of the umpires

I will praise a good effort despite the outcome of the game

IMPORTANT:

Please help us keep our parks clean of trash so City Park personnel can focus on caring for the fields and facilities to ensure our children good safe fun play.

We cannot place children on a specific team by Little League rules. All players Minors down to Tee-Ball are drafted to a team BY BLIND DRAW!

INSURANCE: Every participant who has private insurance is primary. TMLL insurance is secondary.

FUND RAISING: We would appreciate it if every child will help raise funds during our fund-raiser for TMLL. This will help TMLL make an attempt in trying to eliminate further increases in registration fees. Fund raising also helps TMLL maintain and purchase new equipment each session, which is a vital part of assuring your child is being provided with safe equipment.

Parents have a life lasting effect on their child's play. Follow these simple guidelines when your child participates in a sport.

Allow your child to be a child and let them enjoy the game. Show excitement for their involvement. The fun lies in being able to play. Encourage development over winning. Support the entire team, not just your child and give praise to all of the players. Let the player's play and the coach's coach. Do not instruct your child or other players during the game. You will only confuse them. Turn your child over to the coach at all practices and games. Pitch in without being asked. You will usually feel good about it. Help out with field preparation, scorekeeping and umpiring. (Better yet, volunteer to be an umpire.)

Remember children learn from example. Be positive and let the children play. Enjoy the game for what it is...Little League.

TOBACCO PRODUCTS: Please refrain from using tobacco products near dugouts and/or the playing fields.

We Thank You for signing up your child with Tucson Mountain Little League. We look forward to working with your child throughout the season. We are looking forward to a successful season. We would like to Thank You in advance for all your help, dedication and support. It means a lot to our players, coaches and Board Members of Tucson Mountain Little League.

WARNING: Protective equipment cannot prevent all injuries a player might experience while participating in Baseball & Softball

Pertinent information pertaining to Little League Insurance

The Little League Insurance Program is designed to afford protection to all participants at the most economical cost to the local league. The Little League Player Accident Policy is an excess coverage, accident only plan, to be used as a supplement to other insurance carried under a family policy or insurance provided by parent's employer. If there is no primary coverage, Little League insurance will provide benefits for eligible charges, up to Usual and Customary allowances for your area, after a $50.00 deductible per claim, up to the maximum stated benefits.

This plan makes it possible to offer exceptional, affordable protection with assurance to parents that adequate coverage is in force for all chartered and insured Little League approved programs and events.

If your child sustains a covered injury while taking part in a scheduled Little League Baseball or Softball game or practice, the following is how the insurance works:

1. The Little League Baseball accident notification form must be completed by parents (if the claimant is under 19 years of age) and a league official and forwarded directly to Little League Headquarters within 20 days after the accident. A photocopy of the form should be made and kept by the parent/claimant. Initial medical/dental treatment must be rendered within 30 days of the Little League accident.


2. Itemized bills, including description of service, date of service, procedure and diagnosis codes for medical services/supplies and/or other documentation related to claim for benefits are to be provided within 90 days after the accident. In no event shall such proof be furnished later than 12 months from the date the initial medical expense was incurred.


3. When other insurance is present, parents or claimant must forward copies of the Explanation of Benefits or Notice/Letter of Denial for each charge directly to Little League Headquarters, even if the charges do not exceed the deductible of the primary insurance program


4. Policy provides benefits for eligible medical expenses incurred within 52 weeks of the accident, subject to Excess Coverage and Exclusion provisions of the plan.


5. Limited deferred medical/dental benefits may be available for necessary treatment after the 52-week time limit when: (a) Deferred medical benefits apply when necessary treatment requiring the removal of a pin/plate, applied to transfix a bone in the year of injury, or scar tissue removal, after the 52-week time limit is required. The Company will pay the Reasonable Expense incurred, subject to the Policy's maximum limit of $100,000 for any one injury to any one Insured. However, in no event will any benefit be paid under this provision for any expenses incurred more than 24 months from the date the injury was sustained. (b) If the Insured incurs Injury, to sound, natural teeth and Necessary Treatment requires treatment for that Injury be postponed to a date more than 52 weeks after the injury due to, but not limited to, the physiological changes of a growing child, the Company will pay the lesser of: 1. A maximum of $1,500 or 2. Reasonable Expenses incurred for the deferred dental treatment. Reasonable Expenses incurred for deferred dental treatment are only covered if they are incurred on or before the Insured's 23rd birthday. Reasonable Expenses incurred for deferred root canal therapy are only covered if they are incurred within 104 weeks after the date the Injury occurs. No payment will be made for deferred treatment unless the Physician submits written certification, within 52 weeks after the accident, that the treatment must be postponed for the above stated reasons. Benefits are payable subject to the Excess Coverage and the Exclusions provisions of the Policy.

We hope this brief summary has been helpful and you have a better understanding of an important aspect of the operation of the Little League endorsed insurance program.
