TEE-BALL LOCAL RULES

1. All players shall be in the batting order and all players will bat one time per inning. The batting order shall shift by one player per inning. Four (4) full innings are required, if time permits. A half inning is over when every player in the lineup has batted. The inning is considered completed when an out is made at any base during the tenth batters turn or the ball is under control in the infield. An out does not have to be made at home plate. Fielders shall remain on the field until play is complete.

2. All players, regardless of number, play in the field for all innings. It is encouraged to rotate each player at a different position every inning. Pitchers must wear a helmet on defense.

3. Regular infield is set with all other players in the outfield and on the grass. No extra infielders.

4. No more than two defensive coaches are allowed on the field.

5. One offensive coach is allowed at home plate and one at each of the first or third base boxes.

6. No leading off or stealing.

7. Runners must stop when the ball is under control in the infield. If a runner has passed a base or is on a base prior to the ball being in control, he may advance to the next base at his own risk. If the runner has not yet reached a base when the ball is in control, he must stop at the next base.

8. No extra base may be taken on any overthrow on a play made by an infielder. The base runner must stop at the base he was running to when the throw was attempted.

9. Games are four (4) innings. Game play is stopped, and game is complete after 1 hour and 30 minutes. At the end of all games, coaches must be prepared to leave the field in order to begin next game at its scheduled time. All after game talks should be done outside of field.

10. With the exception of the above, all basic baseball rules shall be followed. (Example: A base runner shall return to the dugout after he has been forced out at a base.)

11. There will be no catcher requirement in Tee-ball. However, if a catcher is used, he/she must wear equipment.

12. Games will be played on Fridays at 6:30 PM.
