LL Farm(7&8) rule question.

By: Coach Mike
Add to Mixx!

We are in LL district 2(Georgia area). We do have 7 & 8 year district tournaments. This is just state tournaments. We have another age group of 5 and 6 year olds. This is our tee ball league. They play half the season using the T and the second half of the season using a pitching machine set at 36 mph, base paths of 45 feet. This age group also uses a circle around the machine to stop play. They bat the entire order regardless of the number of outs then switch sides. Our 7 &8 year olds are considered farm, we use a machine set at 40 mph for the whole season and play with 60ft base paths. Players bat in a standard batting order with sides switching after 3 outs or 4 runs. In both leagues batters only get 5 pitches off the machince, if they don't get a hit after the 5th pitch they are out. If they foul tip the 5 th pitch they get addition pitches until they strike out.
