Pottstown Little League
Local Rules – T-Ball

T-Ball (Ages 5-6)

• Games shall consist of not more than six (6) innings. Every effort should be made to keep the game to a maximum of 1 1/2 hours.
• An inning shall end when three (3) outs are reached, or when the team bats all the way through the order. Neither the offensive nor defensive team shall leave the field until the last batter has reached the appropriate base.
• Fielders shall be placed in standard positions. If only one player would remain on the bench during the team’s defensive time, the 10th player may be placed in the outfield. There is a maximum of ten (10) players on the field.
• Managers and coaches should use their discretion in awarding the appropriate number of bases to a batter, based upon the merit of the hit (i.e., if a player hits a ball to one of the infielders, the manager/coach should instruct the players to take one base; if a batter hits a ball into an outfield gap, the manager/coach should instruct the player to take 2 bases; if a batter hits the ball well past the outfielders, the manager/coach may instruct the player to take 3 or 4 bases, again based on the merit of the hit, and not on any miscues by the defensive team.)
• No score is kept at this level.
