Each scrimmage will last 2 hours, regardless of innings. If the sun goes down and lights are not on, the game will end at sunset.
An umpire will start the game, end the game, enforce the rules on the field, and make all pitching and run calls.
No coaching, and no parent-coaching. Parents lay low, and kids have fun!
Teams will be assigned randomly each game by the club. At check-in, a team captain will be assigned to each team. Team captains will lead their teams by enforcing the field positions worksheet, establishing batting order, resolving disputes with the help of the umpire, and ensuring players maintain good sportsmanship on the field. If there is a problem of any kind, the umpire will speak with team captains. Team captains also have a tradition of awarding a player on their team the game ball at the end of each game.
All games are kid pitch. Mounds will be set at 46 feet where they are available. In an effort to keep the games moving at a faster pace, pitchers must "qualify" based on criteria set forth by the club. If your player is interested in qualifying to pitch, please indicate this on your registration form.
Each team must use a catcher on defense. Catchers equipment will be provided by the club, or players may use their own.
Stealing bases (including home) and sliding are permitted.
In order to allow both teams time to develop their skills, each team at bat is allowed 3 outs or 5 runs per inning, whichever comes first. However, games will not be called early regardless of the score. Games will always go 2 hours.
In order to ensure the safety of our players, 1-2 parents may be asked to "man" each dugout each game. The only job of these parent volunteers is to make sure players stay safe and assist with catcher's gear and equipment management. Parent volunteers are not to coach players.
