Junior Rookie & Rookie Pitching

Pitching rules are as follows: A coach will pitch the ball to his team under the following rules: The coach pitcher must start with both feet if standing, or knee if kneeling within the 10 foot circle around the 46 foot pitching rubber. One foot or knee must be in the circle when the ball is released. The pitch MUST be thrown overhand. The coach pitcher is required to move off of the mound and away from the active play after pitching the ball.  If the ball hits the coach (pitcher) it is a dead ball and will be treated as foul.  If the coach gets in the way of an infielder making a play, it is an automatic out.    You MUST use game balls provided by the league.  (No tee ball allowed)

Game play specifics
Jr Rookie:

5 pitches PER batter. (If they don’t swing or hit the ball after 5 pitches, batter is out) 
3 outs or 7 total batters per half inning. Last batter has to be out by making the play, or getting the ball to home plate, or 3rd out has to take place. 
One total base per batter can be taken at the players discretion on an overthrow. 
Example: batted ball is fielded. Ball is thrown over first. The runner may try to advance to 2nd base. The ball is thrown passed 2nd base....no advancement after the overthrow. We want to promote trying to make the play NOT promoting taking advantage of young players trying to make the play. 
Once a ball batted to the OF is in possession by a player in the IF runners will not advance (unless already passed halfway to the base they are going to). 
Home team determined by coin flip.
