RULES
Let’s be honest: None of us have played kickball since about 5th grade, so we’re a little rusty with the rules. We’re asking everyone for a little bit of patience, because they *may* change over the course of our short season. We’ll start with the basics and move forward from there, so let’s all play nice and see how it goes, shall we? Here’s what you need to know:
The general rules of baseball apply with these exceptions/additions (again, these are the basics and we will be adding/adjusting throughout the season):
- Games will last 45-minutes (or 7 innings)
- Minimum of 2 women must play on the field at all times
- Substitutions: ARE allowed, provided they do NOT play on another team.
- Number of people on the field at the same time is 10 (there are 12 people on each team)
- You may “stike/hit” a person with the ball to get them out.
- There are no strike outs or walks. Four foul balls is an out.
- “Tagging up” is NOT allowed on foul balls.
- You cannot “lead off” the base. You must remain on the base until the ball is kicked.
- There is NO bunting.
- There is a 7-run mercy rule per inning.
- If a game is tied at the end of 45 minutes (or 7 innings), it is marked as a tie.
