Objectives:
• To provide organized participation of children in softball
• To promote interest in the game and to develop sportsmanship
• To develop knowledge and understanding of the rules and regulations of softball
Game Rules:
- Rules at this level are basic. The goal is to have fun and expose the kids to as much batting, throwing, and catching as possible
- “Outs” will be introduced later in the season. If the ball reaches the base before the batter, they will be out
- All players bat during each game. Five coach pitches will be thrown. If the batter does not hit after 5 pitches, the tee should be used to allow the batter to hit. This benefits the batter as well as the fielders
- Stealing bases is not allowed at this level
- Scorekeeping is optional and should be agreed upon by both teams
- Helmets with cage and chin strap must be worn
- Catcher’s equipment must be worn appropriately
- Pitcher’s are to use a face mask
