    Catcher positioning

    I recently had an umpire instruct my catcher she was too far over in the catcher's box. We were trying to intentionally walk a batter and she was positioned all the way over in the catcher's box. Is the catcher not allowed to be anywhere within the box? This is USSSA and I looked but I...

    Legal position in the batter's box

    Quick question for you umpires out there. Is there a legal requirement for where the batter must be before the pitch can be thrown in USSSA? More specifically do both feet have to be COMPLETELY in the box in order for the batter to be legally in the box before the pitch is thrown?

    Illegal Substitution

    USSSA rules... #11 hits reaches first and is pinch ran for by #7. Inning ends. #11 goes back out on defense the next half inning without being reported. First batter up hits a ball to #11 and she fields it and throws the batter out at 1B. What is the penalty, if any?

    Errors

    At my wits end trying to figure out my teams problems on defense in a game. We do pretty well in practice with everything, but we struggle in games. Perfect example was this weekend. Leading 10-3 going into the last inning, we preceded to make 7 errors and give up 12 runs to lose 15-10. And...

    Live pitching at practice...good or bad?

    These posts was originally in a thread about organizing a practice. It is a good discussion so I started a separate thread....Moderator Ray My 14U (as well as the majority of other 14U teams) isn't the same as a D1 school. We still have pitchers/batters that struggle. Which is why it can...

    Sliding "rule"

    Ok umps. What is the rule for sliding in ASA. I am under the impression that you never HAVE to slide, only avoid contact. Right or wrong? Also, can anyone point out where it is in the rule book so I can highlight it? Thanks.

    Sometimes you just never know

    We are a very young and inexperienced first-year 14U team. Yesterday we played two games against two teams from the same organization. One 2nd year 12U team and one against a really good first-year 14U team. So, I figured we would go 1-1. Which we did, but not the way I thought. We hit...
