No sir, there is not. There is never a "must slide" rule except in local rec leaguesInto home there is a slide rule, no other base.

Comp, I have never called Little League so I may be wrong ... but I thought LL did have a slide rule.
Anybody with experience who can confirm/deny?

Interesting my apologies. Thought it was a rule. We had to abide by it all the way to the NYSLL championship game in 10U.
No worries, common misperception as many local orgs will put it in as a HOUSE rule.
I apologize for muddying the waters with LL. As I said, I have never worked LL or read their book. A counterpart (offline) told me I may be thinking of LL’s rule on head first slides which are NOT allowed. Or so I was told ... do NOT quote me!
One thing we haven’t discussed is WHY there is no mandatory slide rule. Simply put, most kids cannot slide properly and more injuries occur attempting incorrect slides.
