SAFETY FIRST!

is designed to enhance the basic training of fundamentals. Pre-Minor
baseball is for players league age 7 and 8.
RULE AND REGULATION EXCEPTIONS
The playing rules will be in accordance with the 2003 National
Little League Official Regulations and Playing Rules Handbook. Exceptions
to the rules, amended by the Frontier Little League Board of Directors
are as follows:
1) There can be 2 adult base coaches on the field.
See Rule 4.05(1)
2) The defensive team is permitted 2 coaches on the
field; one in the outfield and one behind the catcher.
3) Adults (offensive team manager or coach) will pitch
in the first half of the season. The players will be taught
to pitch during the season at practices.
4) Mechanical (non-electric) pitching machines may
be used instead of coach pitch.
5) In the second half of the season, players may begin
to pitch. When players are pitching, the batter will get four
pitches, and then will revert to coach pitch. There will be
no strikes called on swings against these first 4 pitches when a
player is pitching. (Strikes not swung at will be called.) The purpose
is to encourage the players to hit the ball rather than to wait
for the coach to avoid being struck out.
6) Walks are not permitted.
7) No player will pitch more than 2 innings in a game.
8) The batting order will be the entire roster.
9) Each half inning will end after 6 runs or 3 outs.
10) Ten players may play on defense. The tenth player must
play in the outfield.
11) Advancing on a passed ball is permitted except for home base.
No runner may advance from third base to home on a passed ball or
wild pitch. Once a pitch passes the catcher or is caught by
the catcher, the runner on third base must remain on third until
the next pitch unless a defensive play is made against a runner.
12) There are no game results recorded to determine a winner/loser
of scheduled games.
13) The Pre-Minor Division will not have an end of season tournament.
14) Catcher must wear a helmet at all times.
