The SAFE Summary Builder is a guided process in the Little League Data Center that helps leagues organize and confirm their safety information for the season. Instead of uploading a single safety plan document, leagues answer a series of questions across core safety areas. Those responses generate a league-specific SAFE Summary that can be shared with volunteers and parents.

As leagues complete the SAFE Summary Builder, they:

• Review safety areas, including child protection, emergency planning, facilities, equipment, training, and accident reporting
• Confirm that important safety actions and procedures are in place for the season
• Generate a shareable SAFE Summary that combines Little League-provided guidance with league-specific details

The Annual Facility Survey is a streamlined, updated survey that leagues complete each year in the Little League Data Center. It builds on long-standing facility safety practices while making the process easier for leagues.

As part of the Annual Facility Survey, leagues provide information about:

• Fields and facilities used by the league
• Facility conditions and safety features
• Emergency preparedness items, including AED access

Information collected through the Annual Facility Survey helps identify facility-related safety needs, supports planning for improvements, and is incorporated into the league’s SAFE Summary to provide a more complete picture of league safety preparedness.

The Musco-Funded SAFE to Play Grant Program provides financial support to help leagues strengthen safety and reduce injury risk within their local programs. Grant funding is made possible through Musco Lighting’s ongoing commitment to safety, preparedness, and player well-being across Little League.

In 2026, grant funding may be used to support:

• Facility improvements that enhance safety and playing conditions
• Purchase of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) to support emergency preparedness

SAFE to Play grants are intended to support a wide range of leagues, including those demonstrating strong safety practices as well as leagues facing resource-based challenges.
