Please Contact your Division's Coordinator in regards to any issues you encounter during the season that cannot be resolved with your team's coach.
 

Division overview:

This baseball division is for 7 and 8 year old boys and girls. Emphasis is on skill development. Players learn to hit a pitched ball. Coaches pitch a maximum seven pitches to each batter  No player can sit two consecutive innings. Coaches can play up to 10 players in the field.

Player placement in Coach Pitch is done by the Division Coordinator. Players participate in evaluations to assist the division coordinator in creating teams with equal amounts of talent. Requests to play with specific players our coaches will be considered and if possible honored when team assignments are being made, as long as a fair division of talent can be maintained.

No scores are kept in this division during the regular season.  A year end tournament will be held in which scores will be kept and a division champion will be crowned.

2011 Coach Pitch Division Game Schedule Schedules will be available soon on our eteamz.com site.

• All players will be in the batting order
• Players are to be rotated to multiple positions throughout the season and games.  It is not appropriate for players to be kept at the same position because of skill level.  It shall be the managers responsibility to ensure that players are rotated so the skill level for all players improves during the course of the season.  The exception for this rule will be at first base and pitcher if the manager deems that there would be a safety issue.  It is required that both teams have at least 7 players to play a game.  There shall be no more than 6 infielders at any time during the game.  Outfielders are to be kept in the outfield.  Four outfielders are permitted if enough players are present.  If necessary, a coach may be substituted as catcher.  It is highly recommended that all players that are catching wear approved groin protection.  All other protective gear is mandatory.  Pitchers will play to either sided of the coach that is pitching and will wear an approved protective helmet. no player can sit two consecutive innings.
• Each player will receive 7 pitches.  At that point if the player does not hit the ball the player will be called “out” and should return to the dugout. There will not be any “soft toss” after the 7 pitches.
• Coaches are to pitch to their players from close proximity to the pitching mound rubber.  It is preferred that the pitcher is on one knee while pitching.  The pitching machine can be used when available.  If a batted ball strikes the pitching machine the ball is called dead.  The batter will be placed on first base and any player that was on base at the time shall be advanced one base.
• Teams should call players “out” when appropriate and umpires are not present.  Three outs or 5 runs will end that teams inning.
• No new innings after TBD
