9.     Players who are in the catchers position should stand well away from the batter (back by the fence) and forward of the hitter.

11. Fun should be had at all times by players, coaches, and fans.  This is the most important rule of all!!  Have a great season.
12. Game times will be 9:00 & 10:30.   Players and coaches should be at the field ready for team huddle times 15 minutes before your game time on Saturdays.
