Run rule: Maximum of 6 runs in one inning until the 5th and 6th inning which will be unlimited runs allowed. Once the batter steps into the batter box and the coach is ready to pitch, the catcher must be in a crouched catcher’s position giving the pitching coach a target. Catchers will not be allowed to stand during the pitch. 6U Extended Rules: All rules for 7u and 8u are the same for 6u except 2 of them. The first being that we will allow a coach to be in the outfield with the team (1 coach). And the other is the biggest rule change that needs to be noted and read and understood. 6U will play in the Infield”. This simply means that when an infielder gains control of the “Control ball in the infield…from a ball coming in from the outfield or ball past the infield chased down by an infielder, the runners may advance to the next base, but no further. The lead runner does not have to be stopped in the 6u division. Once the infielder has possession of the ball in the dirt portion of the infield, the offensive player can advance at his own risk, but only to the next base. IF THERE IS A PLAY ON THAT PLAYER TRYING TO ADVANCE AND HE IS FORCED OR TAGGED OUT, THEN HE IS OUT. IF THERE IS AN OVERTHROW HE MAY NOT ADVANCE ANOTHER BASE. THIS ELIMINATES THE MERRY GO ROUND EFFECT.
