Players: A team has at least 12 players, with at least 6 men and 4 women. 

​

Batting order: The batting order alternates between men and women for the first ten batters. After the first ten, batters will not have to alternate by gender.

​

Courtesy runners: One courtesy runner can be used for any player already on base. One runner per inning. Men can only run for men.

 

Helmets: Helmets are optional but must have a non-glare surface. 

 

Shoes: Metal or polyurethane spikes are not allowed. 

 

Uniforms: Players should wear similar colors but not required. 

 

Pitching: The pitcher delivers the ball underhand with an arch, at least 6 ft but no more than 12 ft from the ground. 

 

Pitch Count: Start with one ball, one strike count. One foul ball is allowed with two strikes. After that, ball needs to be in play or it is a strikeout.  If a male walks with no strikes thrown, the runner will be allowed to go to second base and runners advance two bases.

 

No slide rule. At each base, you will be allowed to run past the base. No tags are needed. It will be like running to first. You don’t need to touch the base but we ask that runners run on the opposite side of where the ball may come from. So if the ball is in right field and there’s a play at second, the runner needs to run on the inside (toward home) part of second base. The runner can go to the next base only if they touch the base first.

 

Bats: Single wall bats for men. Women can use any bats.

 

Runs Max per inning: Five (5) runs per inning maximum.

 

Commit line: Once a runner passes the commit line between third base and home, he/she may not go back to third base. Runner does NOT need to be tagged if defender has the ball and is on home plate. Runner Can be tagged to record an out.

 

Base running: To avoid more injuries, we will have a no slide rule. At each base, you will be allowed to run past the base and no tags are needed. It will be like running to first. You don’t need to touch the base but we ask that runners run on the opposite side of where the ball may come from. So if the ball is in right field and there’s a play at second, the runner needs to run on the inside (toward home) part of second base. The runner can go to third only if they touch the base first.

 

Umpires are volunteers. Please be kind. If you disagree with a call, make your case and then move on.

 

Games are seven full innings. If a game is taking a long time (ie. 75 minutes have passed and it’s still only the 5th inning), the umpires have the descretion to declare the final inning. In case of a tie, extra innings will be permitted.
