Session 3 [2025] - Player Pitch Schedule
Session 3 [2025]: 8/9u, 10u, 11u, 12u
Sports Zone Indoor League- Kid Pitch Rules
Session 3 Kid Pitch Rules:
1) 1 hour and 20-minute timed games, drop dead at the buzzer but finish the batter (Do not finish the inning).
After the game, please clear the dugout and get off the field. Hold any team meeting at the batting cages not on the field after the game.
2) No extra innings, games will end in a tie.
3) 4 run rule per inn max (not 5 like for the machine pitch league) unless final batter hits an Automatic HR (Therefore 7 run max)
4) There is no run rule per game.
5) Balls can be caught off the ceiling for outs – balls are live off the ceiling unless umpire calls it a foul ball (Umpire Judgement)
6) Balls cannot be caught for outs off the side nets.
7) Catchers and Pitchers can field any balls in front of the plate.
8) Each batter starts with a 1-1 count. Unlimited pitches.
9) If the batter hits a pitch fair it is a live ball unless the umpire calls it a foul ball (Umpire Judgment).
10) Foul balls are at the judgment of the umpire.
11) No Bunting- This is a hitting game! We do not want the 3rd basemen to have to play up at all. So, NO BUNTING allowed.
12) HR’s are at the judgment of the umpire – generally for 9u-12u the ball must be hit off the back netting, or the far corners of the side walls.
13) If the game starts early, the time limit is still a 1 HOUR AND 20-minute game. If the game starts late, the game still must end 10 minutes prior to the start of the next game to give plenty of time for teams to enter and exit the field.
14) Any other rules not covered on this rule sheet are at the discretion of the umpire(s) on the field and or the league directors.
BAT RESTRICTIONS:
9U-12U: Must use USA BATS or Wooden BATS (NO TRAVEL BATS!!)
PITCHING RESTRICTIONS:
THERE ARE NO SET PITCHING RESTRICTIONS EXCEPT FOR COMMON SENSE.
**IF ANY PITCHER WALKS 4 BATTERS IN THE INNING, THE INNING WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE OVER AND ALL THE RUNS WILL BE AWARDED TO THE TEAM.
NO SINGLE PITCHER CAN PITCH MORE THAN 3 INNINGS PER GAME.
**NO PITCHING CHANGES OR TRIPS TO THE MOUND DURING AN INNING - If the coach feels his pitcher cannot go on any longer, we will just switch the inning and award the 4 runs to the other team. Then you can teach and/or talk to the players on the side lines.
