Five Tool Youth sanctions teams and provides rules for league and tournament play. Five Tool Youth does not organize teams, select or approve coaches, players or volunteers for these teams. Five Tool Youth strongly recommends that all parents of youth participants, as well as league officials, thoroughly check into the background and character of anyone (coaches, volunteers, or other individuals) that has contact with any minor participant or volunteer of their team or league.
ABUSE & MOLESTATION REPORTING & RESPONSE POLICY
Five Tool Youth does not in any way allow or tolerate the abuse of children.

Five Tool Youth will conduct an investigation, keeping the safety of the children as the first priority. Knowing of instances of abuse and not reporting them may be grounds for dismissal and may result in legal liability. Five Tool Youth will then notify the proper authorities regarding the allegations. Five Tool Youth has the right to immediately suspend the accused party from participation in any Five Tool Youth activity pending the outcome of the investigation.
