NOTE:The current edition of the Little League Baseball - 2013Official Regulations and Playing Rules (the green book), shall govern all play except as added, amended, modified, waived or clarified by the local rules set forth below. Any conflicts or issues regarding play shall be raised to the Norfolk Baseball Association Elected Board for resolution.1. A soft baseball will be used.2. All players are in the batting order.3. All players are used defensively at one time.4. Positions: Optional catcher: One player may play catcher using a catchers helmet and mask. They should be placed in foul territory half way between home and third base or well behind home plate. The catcher is used to make plays at home and field balls hit near the plate. A pitcher is placed on the mound. The remaining players will be placed around the infield area, with one designated first baseman. Defensive coaches are permitted on the field behind players for instructional purposes (this is encouraged). Coaches are not permitted to touch a live ball.5. The manager or a coach will tee-up the ball for the batter and is permitted (and encouraged) to instruct the batter at home plate. Mid-way through the season, at a point determined by the League Director, coaches may pitch to the batters. At this point, each player's at bat will consist of five swings and then the use of the batting tee (this MUST be enforced or games will become too long and uninteresting for the children).6. First and third base coaches are permitted in the coaching boxes to coach the runners.7. All games will last approximately 1 hour to a maximum of 1 hour and 15 minutes.8. No bunting is allowed.9. No base stealing is allowed.10. There are no strikeouts.11. There is no infield fly rule.12. If a player is put-out, he/she may remain on base (unless thrown out at home). Multiple base runners ending up on the same base will be rearranged. This may be adjusted to regular baseball rules later in the season if all managers agree.13. An offensive inning consists of one time around the batting order regardless of the number of outs made by the defensive team.14. Scores will not be kept.15. If a team does not have enough players, that team may recruit other players in the stands provided they are on the roster of another Tee Ball team. (Note: Only players that are registered in the league are covered by the Little League insurance.)EquipmentAll players will be issued a team T-shirt and hat as the "uniform."
