YOUTH SLOW PITCH
League Rules

GENERAL RULES

  1. The home team will be determined by coin toss.
  2. Dugouts will be determined by a first come first serve basis.
  3. All catchers are required to wear catcher’s mask, helmet, and chest protector.
  4. All batters and base runners are required to wear helmets with a chin strap.
  5. No infield warm-ups will be allowed prior to or during the game, however both teams may use the outfield area simultaneously to warm-up prior to the game being ready to start.
  6. There are NO FORFEITS. There is no minimum number of players required to start/ finish the game. Teams may borrow players from the opponent or other teams within the same league (age group) if necessary or play with the players present. Those borrowed players cannot play P or C during the game. Play ball!
  7. CRPA will rule upon any item not covered below.

PLAYING RULES

  1. The Official ASA Rulebook will govern play for all leagues with the exceptions listed.
  2. The game shall consist of 7 innings. No new inning shall begin after 1 hour and 15 minutes. Regular season games may end in a tie.
  3. A maximum of three (3) outs or six (6) runs will constitute an offensive inning. In an effort to allow maximum participation and playing time, even if a team cannot win because of run limits, and if there is time remaining, the game will be continued until the time limit is reached.
  4. All players on the roster present must be in the batting order. No penalty shall be charged for a player leaving the line-up. A player may re-enter the batting order at a later point, by being placed in the original spot in the batting order. In the event a player arrives after the game has started, the batter shall be placed at the bottom of the order.
  5. 10 players may play in the field. Unlimited defensive substitution is allowed.
  6. Bunting or half swings are not permitted. In the umpire’s judgment, if a batter intentionally takes a half swing or bunts, the ball is dead, a strike is called, and the offensive team manager is given one warning. If it happens again, the umpire will declare the batter out.
  7. The official starting time shall begin with the pitcher’s first pitch. (This will be the first warm-up pitch.)
  8. Base Distance – 60 feet – 10U, 12U
  9. Pitching Distance – 35 feet – 10U
                                40 feet – 12U
  10. If a game is suspended due to rain or any other reason, 45 minutes or 3½ innings will count as a complete game.
