      League Rules

      • Players, parents and fans should direct most inquiries to the T-Ball and Soft-Ball Co-ordinator, Natalie Arendt,  by email:  whitmoreparkball@gmail.com
      • Check   the  Daily Game Status Button found at the top of this page to find out if the games are cancelled.   The Game Status is updated after 5:00pm.   Rule of thumb for canceling games—if there is a weather warning, or, if it has rained during the day to the extent that the fields will be extremely wet, then the games will be cancelled.  Games are not cancelled because of temperature or wind.  
      • Late Player registrations will be taken, but we cannot guarantee a spot on a specific team.  Uniforms will not be purchased until payment in full is received.  Remember, there are a maximum of 11 players per team, so please register early if you would like to be placed on a particular team.
      • See above for time and place for uniform pickup and pictures.

      Divisions 1 & 2 – T-Ball

      Note:  AT LEAST ONE PARENT OR GUARDIAN MUST REMAIN WITH THE PLAYER DURING THE GAME.

      • Uniforms consist of a numbered t-shirt and a personalized ball cap – which the player keeps.  Players must supply their own ball glove and batting helmet and have them clearly labeled with their name.  Players must wear helmets while running the bases.  
      • We ask for one volunteer coach per team and an assistant coach if possible.  Each coach receives a binder that includes:  Batting order and fielding positions for all games; a team roster (including contact information), a game schedule, and other pertinent information.  Each coach is given an equipment bag and batting tee that they are required to bring to each game.  Coaches and players should arrive 10 minutes early so that the game can start on time.

      • Division 3—Softball is a continuation of T-Ball except more of the typical softball rules apply.  This division is looking for players who want more challenge than T-Ball can offer.  Players do not hit the ball off the T.  Instead, parents/coaches pitch to the players. 
      • Batters are allowed 7 pitches from the coach/parent.  After 7 pitches, the batter gets a walk to 1st base.  Batter is encouraged to try and hit one of the pitches.
      • A team’s turn at bat is completed when the team has 3 outs, or, the team has batted through the line-up once.

      • Catcher is a player and must wear the catcher’s gear.  A parent will stand with the catcher to assist.
      • Umpire—not necessary, but if a parent wants to ump a game, that’s great.
      • Batting order is rotated every game so that each player takes turns batting first, last and in between.
      • Players have an opportunity to play each fielding position during the season.
      • Coaching Staff and Players need to arrive 10 minutes early so the game can start on time.

      • Last inning is open ended for both teams.  Therefore, coaches must agree when the last inning is going to be played.  However, if, after 5 runs are scored, the  home team wins, then the game is over.
      • Throwing the bat—while throwing the bat is not encouraged, often times players are excited and the bat is tossed or thrown inadvertently.  Coaches should remind players that throwing the bat is not acceptable.  Umpires may issue a warning to the coach and the player  the first time a bat is thrown, and after that, any player throwing the bat may be called out at the discretion of the umpire.
      • Coaching Staff and Players need to arrive 10 minutes early so the game can start on time.
      • Home team sets up the bases.
      • Batting order is decided by the Coach, however, this league encourages fair play.  The Coach is asked to rotate the batting order so that each player has an opportunity to bat first, last and in between.  The Coach is asked to develop players by allowing all players the opportunity to play all positions several times during the season.
