Little League is structured play to begin with. There's a lot that is fun, valuable, and risky about baseball without worrying about a rule meant to protect kids from trying things they aren't ready for yet-- breaking wrists and ankles in the process. It's not stopping kids from learning to slide on their own if they want. That other stuff seems pretty dumb, though.
