2011 rule changes per sanctioning body

[Coach JV]

Someone please clarify the pitching distances for 14U.
This is the info I have:
USSSA=43'
NSA=43'
ASA=40'

 

[shockcoach]

NSA is allowing local levels to conduct their friendlies at 40', but requiring all championship tournaments to be at 43'. I'm not sure what our local ruling will be. I'm still in the 40' camp.

I'm pretty sure ASA is 43' in 14U.

 

[Amy in AZ.]

Pitching distances remain unchanged for the 2011 ASA season
10u - 35'
12u & 14u - 40'
16u, 18u & 23u - 43'

No, ASA is 40' in 14U. They voted down changing it for 2011.

My bad...thanks for the info!

It is illogical IMHO, that ASA would remain at 40'
while the others all have gone to 43'.
Am I naive or has logic gone right out the window?

You must be naive because logic went out the window, across the yard, into the street, and got run over by a govt. school bus... years ago.

Because they can.

And there are those who may think it was illogical for the others to move to 43'

I have never been a big fan of following the leader just because
