2011 TEE BALL RULES
1.
No
score keeping will be allowed. We want kids to play without the pressure of
winning or losing. Please inform your parents of this.
2.
Each
game will consist of 4 innings or 1 hour. No innings start after 1 hour.
3.
Each
child must play a minimum of 2 innings per game. Only 10 players may play at a
time.
4.
The
continuous batting order will be used for games. Outs will count. When a team
gets three outs, teams will change sides. If a team bats around, the last
batter will bat like any other batter and not be made to keep running the bases
without stopping. (If he/she gets 1 Base Hit that is as far as he/she goes and
the teams change sides.)
5.
There
will be a dead ball line between home plate and the pitcher’s mound. A hit ball
must cross the line to be playable.
6.
On
a hit ball, the defense must throw the ball across the dead ball line to stop
runners from advancing.
7.
If
a runner is more than half way to a base when the ball crosses the dead ball
line, then, the runner will be awarded that base. If the runner is not half way
to a base when the ball crosses the dead ball line, then, the runner must
return to the previous base.
8.
Runners
are allowed only one (1) base on overthrows at 1st and 3rd
base, if the ball goes into foul territory or the outfield.
9.
A
defensive coach may stand behind the pitcher to direct his players.
10.
Coaches, remind all parents that these are 4,
5, and 6 year olds, they are also watching us.
11.
The batting team’s coach must move the tee
after each batter, so that players can touch home plate.
12.
All players must play at least two different
positions in every game.
13.
If games are rained out, they will not be
rescheduled.
14.
Defensive players must play in the standard
defensive positions. Outfielders in the outfield and infielders in the infield.
15.
Coach may pitch four pitches before player
hits off the tee.
16.
Home team will pick up game ball at the
concession stand from Jeff Middlebrooks or Brandon Logue.
