If while in the circle the pitcher makes a play on the runner, such as raising the throwing arm or any forward movement toward the runner, before time is called, the play becomes live again and the runner can advance. 7. The coach pitcher may speak to the batter ONLY BEFORE the ball is pitched. After the ball is released and hit, the pitcher must immediately move off the field with every attempt to avoid interference with the play. The pitcher should move to the fence and shall not be allowed to coach the runners at any time.

The defensive team has the option to position their player-pitcher approximately 10feet directly behind 2nd base (a circle will be painted for positioning) in the event of a power batter. This is intended for safety purposes for the pitcher and should not be used by any coach as a defensive strategy. The player-pitcher may not be moved to another defensive position for that batter. This is not to be considered a 5th outfielder and should play no more than 10 behind the base. 10. A line will be drawn 30 feet from home-plate towards 1st and 3rd base. No defensive player may play in front of this line before the ball is hit. 11. No stealing if a player leaves a base prior to the ball reaching home plate or being hit, she will be called out. 12. All players present must bat (a player sitting out does not have to bat last) Revised 1/7/15 Page! 4 of! 6

Maximum of 10 batters per inning, no maximum run limit. No automatic 2 outs when the 10th batter is up. When 10th batter is at the plate, the same rules apply for stopping play when hit to the outfield (#15 below; either by stopping the lead runner or controlling the ball in the circle). The overthrow rule at first base (#14 below) also applies for 10th batter. Also, if a runner is at third, and 10th batter is at the plate and the runner elects to run home after the ball is hit, the run will count assuming the 3rd out is not recorded and the runner does not get out. The run counts even if a force out is recorded, and it is not the 3rd out. If the tenth batter hits off the tee the 2 base maximum rule is still in effect /3 11/4 run lead ends game 5. All players present must bat (a player sitting out does not have to bat last) players on defense with a maximum of 6 infielders (one being catcher). Outfielders shall be positioned in the outfield at least 10 feet behind the baselines until the ball is batted. 7.

If they are not half way to the next base when ruled dead they will be returned to the previous base safely. This is at the discretion of the umpire. If the ball thrown towards first base remains in the field of play then the ball is still live and play must be stopped per rule Time should be called and the ball determined dead when: A. Any Defensive Player has possession and control of a ball with at least one foot inside the 8 ft. radius circle. B. Any Defensive Player has possession and control of the ball in front of the lead runner. C.

6 Offense: 1. Coach pitches first 3 balls. If the ball is not put into play then the coach will have two options: 1. Use a tee for 2 swings. If the batter misses the ball or strikes the tee she will be out on the 2nd swing. A foul ball from the tee will allow an additional swing from the tee. Any ball put into play from the tee will allow a maximum of two bases for the batter and any player already on base. 2. Pitch two additional pitches to the batter; if not put into play the batter will be called out. A batter can not be called out on a foul tipped ball or one that remains inside the 10-ft arch. No base limit. 2. A ball hit from coach pitch or the tee that remains inside the 10-ft arch from home plate will be considered a foul ball. Batter cannot be called out on foul balls and will get another pitched ball, or another swing off the tee. 3. Once the batter steps into the batter s box, the offensive coaches may move a player if they are facing the wrong direction or not in the box completely. After mid-season the coaches may NOT at any time touch the batter or bat in order to help position the player in the box. A straight line may be drawn in the box to help players position their feet. This line must parallel the batter s box. Aiming a batter will not be allowed at any time during the season. 1st complaint = coach warning 2nd + complaint = coach suspension for 1 game for each complaint (Complaints to be in writing and sent to MPRA softball board for review) 4. The coach pitcher / catcher may speak to the batter ONLY BEFORE the ball is pitched. After the ball is released and hit, the pitcher must immediately move off the field with every attempt to avoid interference with the play. The pitcher should move to the fence and shall not be allowed to coach the runners at any time. 5. If the coach pitcher unintentionally interferes with the play (hit by batted ball or interferes with a defensive player in the umpires judgment) then the ball is ruled dead and the pitch is replayed. 6. After the ball is hit, the coach catcher shall quickly remove the bat and/or tee out of the way and move to the fence. She/he shall not be allowed to coach the runners at any time. If there is a play at home the coach catcher shall make every attempt to avoid interference. If in the judgment of the umpire the coach catcher in any way interfered with a play at home, the runner will be called out and the run will not count. 7. No stealing if a player leaves a base prior to the ball reaching home plate or being hit from the tee, she will be called out. 8. The coach pitcher must make every reasonable attempt to throw strikes and allow batters to hit the ball. If complaints are specifically made about a team that is throwing pitches in order to allow strong hitters to hit from the tee in attempt to take advantage of a strong tee hitter the following steps will occur: 1st complaint = coach warning 2nd + complaint = coach suspension for 1 game for each complaint (Complaints to be in writing and sent to MPRA softball board for review) Revised 1/7/15 Page! 6 of! 6
