Youth Baseball and Defibrillators (AEDs)

Call 911

Call 911 if you used your Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

The City requires all youth baseball leagues to have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and a trained responder present at every field where youth baseball is played. This includes all City owned fields and it applies to all games and practices.

Youth baseball leagues are considered to be any league that has participants who are all 17 years old or younger, but includes grade school through high school athletic programs regardless of the age of the participants.

This requirement applies to:

School leagues
Little leagues
Community based organization leagues
Unaffiliated leagues

This requirement does not apply to softball.
