C Ball Rules

C-BALL RULES

Games 1-8 are COACH PITCH and Games 9-16 are KID PITCH
I. Based on the schedule, teams could begin KID PITCH the week of May 22nd
II. Try to get through 8 games before beginning KID PITCH (I know rainouts could
move when teams play their 8th game)
III. Feel free to work with coaches to decide if/when teams are ready for KID PITCH

COACH PITCH RULES
1) Each coach pitches to his team.
2) Each batter gets 7 pitches. If the ball is not hit after 7 pitches the batter is out. If the
batter fouls off the last pitch, they get another one. (Often times the ball is put in play
within the first couple of pitches.)
If coach throws some bad balls, discretion can be used to extend the pitches
thrown past seven.

KID PITCH RULES
1) Pitch from the mound
2) 7 pitches max per batter
3) During kid pitch, once the 4th ball is thrown, the coach from the opposing team takes
over and throws to the batter. There are strikeouts, but no walks.

The count is reset once the coach takes over to pitch
4) Hit batters can take the base OR count the pitch as a ball and the at-bat continues
5) 3 strikes is an out
6) Max 2 innings pitched per kid (50 pitch max per game - LL rules)
Coaches must manage pitch counts and pitcher scheduling
7) If a kid cannot make the plate from the 40 foot pitching rubber, he/she can move up a
few feet closer to complete the pitch. PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW TOO CLOSE AS WE WANT
TO KEEP THE SAFETY OF THE PITCHER IN MIND.
Kids who have demonstrated they can pitch from the 40 foot rubber and may be
getting tired need to be replaced, not given the opportunity to move up. Rule 7
is for pitchers who cannot start from the 40 foot rubber from the start.

GAME RULES
1) There are 3 outs per inning.
2) There is a 5 run limit per inning.
3) There is a catcher in full gear. Coaches typically help the catcher with passed balls to
speed up play.
4) All players bat. 10 play the field with 4 outfielders (Must play 4 outfielders)
5) Runners can leave the base as the ball crosses the plate.
6) If the ball is hit or goes into the outfield the runner may go to second base but not
progress past second base.

8) No stealing bases.
9) No bunting.
10) All batters and players on base must wear helmets.
