Preschool Rules

Base Running

There is no stealing.
All plays stop when a player has possession of the ball within the ten (10) foot circle around the pitcher’s mound at the end of the play.
Base runners may not advance more than one base on balls hit in the infield.
Base runners may advance two bases on balls hit past the outfielders or in the outfield gaps.
Runners may not advance on overthrows. This includes the batter.

Batting

There are no “official” outs.
All batters get to run the bases.
All players bat once per inning.
The batting tee is placed in front of the home plate, not on it, with the point of the plate pointed toward the pitcher.
The batter must take a full swing (no bunting) and hit the ball out of the twenty (20) foot arc. If the ball does not go out of the arc, it is a dead ball and the batter must try again. After four (4) “dead balls” the next ball hit off the tee in fair territory is considered playable regardless if it goes beyond the twenty (20) foot arc.
The last batter is announced to the opposing team in each inning.

Defensive Positions

All players must play their own position. They may only “backup” other positions.
All outfielders must play at least twenty (20) feet behind the baselines.
Outfielders should be taught to throw the ball in, not run to a base to make a force-out.
Managers must position their infielders out of the base path.
If the ball is hit directly to the pitcher, a play must be attempted on the batter and/or the base runners. The play cannot end just by the pitcher (or another fielder) fielding the ball and returning to the pitchers circle.
The player must play a different position each inning. Each player must play an infield position during each game.
No player is allowed to play the same position twice in one game.
When a manager deems any position unsafe for a particular player, he must document the reason and advise the Carol Stream Park District athletic staff, the league coordinator, and the parents/guardian before taking any action.
All outs are made by tag, force-out, or balls caught on a fly.

Games

Games start with a 30 minute warm/up practice.
There are ten (10) games.
- Games started are not made up if stopped for weather, darkness, etc.
Games are three (3) innings or 1 hour; whichever comes first.
- When the last batter bats, the inning is over when either an out is made or all runners have crossed home plate.
Games started are not made up if stopped for weather, darkness, etc.
There are a maximum of two (2) defensive coaches on the field positioned behind the infielders.
On offense, there is a first (1st) base, third (3rd) base, and batting coach.
The manager designates a bench coach to keep order.
There is no minimum number of players necessary to start/play the game.
Players who arrive after the start of the game must be immediately added to the line-up and placed at the bottom of the batting order.
