Marion PAL Club Baseball Rules
*** Please clean dugouts after your game.
*** Do not take catchers gear with you!!!
*** Team Treats will be 75 cents per player each game
1. The Marion PAL Club Coaches Pitch is a game of baseball for boys ages 7 thru 9 and for girls ages 7 thru 10. Some 6 year olds are playing if parents requested it/
2. Principles are to teach fundamentals. Improve skills, stress sportsmanship and build friendships.
3. The Marion PAL Club Coaches should help build the kids confidence level, not tear it down. These kids are here to learn the game and to have a lot of fun, it is our job to see that both of these things happen for every child.
4. Complete game will be 6 innings unless the home team is ahead and then the game will only be 5 ½ innings. If the game is tied after 6 innings we will play extra innings to get a winner. The other way a game will not last a full 6 innings will be if a team in mathematically eliminated.
5. An inning will consist of 3 outs or 7 runs, whichever happens first.
6. The pitching coach must get off the field of play when the ball is hit. The base coaches are not allowed to touch base runners during the play, if they do and they are seen doing so by the umpires, the runner will be called out.
7. There will be a line on the field in front of the pitcher, this line is for the child playing to stand behind until the ball is put into play. The coach doing the pitching may go in front of that line if he or she chooses to do so. There is no right or wrong way to pitch to your hitters, you can pitch underhand. Overhand, fast of slow, it’s up to you. IN THE GIRLS LEAGUE, ALL PITCHES WILL BE UNDERHAND!
8. Each player must play defense every other inning, no player is allowed to sit out 2 consecutive innings unless they are hurt or sick.
9. You must have at least 9 players present to start the game. All players on your team will be put in the batting order and they will bat when it is their turn, regardless of if they played defense or not. (example: if you have all 15 players at the game, #15 will bat before #1 bats a second time)
10. A player will be called out if he or she bunts the ball. A batter will be out if he or she throws the bat in a way the umpire feels is dangerous. This batter will be called out and the play is dead and all the base runners return to the base they occupied before the bat was thrown. (umpires will not be giving a warning on thrown bats, the hitter will be out.)
No Pets will be allowed outside your vehicle!
