You don’t have to slide. You just can’t crash. Trip breaking another sideline myth: the rule isn’t “MUST SLIDE.” It’s slide OR avoid contact. Go around, slide in, do your thing. Just don’t try to bulldoze the catcher. Send this to the loudest parent on your team. #usssa #baseballrules #youthbaseballcoach #baseballparent #travelballlife #baseballmyths #umpire #baseballcoach #youthbaseball #travelball
