League Rules

For any rules not shown below, USA Softball 2026 Rules apply, and League Supervisors get final say on all calls. The most important rule is to have fun — every rule here exists to maximize the fun for everyone. If you want to yell at umpires and win at all costs, this isn’t the league for you.

Rosters & Batting Order

  • Rosters consist of 12 players (6 guys, 6 girls).
  • Separate batting orders for guys and girls; from there, guys and girls alternate at bat.
  • League subs must be used first if available; otherwise replacement players may be found to avoid a forfeit.
  • Teams must have at least 8 players to play.
  • Rotate players in the field so everyone gets roughly equal innings.

Games

  • Games last 55 minutes or 7 innings, whichever comes first.
  • After 55 minutes, the current inning is finished and the game is over.
  • No run rules — good sportsmanship expected if a team gets way ahead.
  • If tied at time, one extra inning: each team starts a runner at 2nd (last out), batters get 2 pitches max, a strike/foul tip is an out, 2 balls is a walk.

Batting

  • Batters start with 1 strike; fouling off the 3rd strike gives one extra strike, then a foul is an out.
  • Start with 1 ball; 4 balls is a walk. Guys get 2 bases on a walk.
  • Pitches must arc 6′ to 10′ high and hit the plate or the mat behind it.
  • Max 2 over-the-fence home runs per team, per game; extras are an out.

Bats

  • Guys must use wood bats (league provides). Wood baseball bats are OK; softball bats encouraged.
  • A wood bat is any bat a reasonable person would call wood.
  • No modified bats. No metal baseball bats.
  • League has final say on allowed bats, ruling on player safety.

Baserunning

  • Sliding isn’t required, but make every effort to avoid collisions.
  • Unsafe plays will be called out; egregious ones may draw a warning or ejection.
  • Running to first, touch the orange bag (or the outer part of the base).
  • Turning toward second after first can be tagged out — turn toward the dugouts to return.
  • Touch the bag or black mat at home to avoid collisions.
  • No leading off — stay on the base until contact; leaving early is an out.
  • One pinch runner per inning (last out/score of the same sex); umps may allow more for injury.
  • Umpires will call close plays as outs to keep play safe.

Fielding

  • 10 fielders at a time, even number of girls and guys.
  • Infielders start on the infield; outfielders start in the outfield.
  • Outfielders start behind a set line when girls are batting.
  • First basemen use the inner bag / inside of the base.
  • Use restraint on tags; close plays called as outs to avoid aggressive play.
  • All fielders need a glove; a broken glove may be replaced mid-inning.

Alcohol & Dogs

  • No alcohol — these fields are managed by the Little League.
  • Anyone intoxicated or under the influence will be asked to leave.
  • No dogs near the fields (Little League rule); dogs are fine up in the parking lot.

Discipline

  • Argue a call once, respectfully — then move on.
  • Umpire and League Supervisor may remove any player at any time if needed.
  • The League Supervisor may suspend or expel players (who may plead their case first).
  • No yelling at umpires or other teams, or obnoxious behavior. Move on.

Music

  • Music should not be audible on the field during play so umpires can communicate.
  • Music is fine before/after games and between innings if respectful — umps and supervisors may shut it down at any time.
