a One half inning consists of 3 outs or once through the entire batting order. <br />a It is recommended that the maximum number of players placed in the field is 10 <br />children. There should be one catcher, one pitcher, one player at all infield <br />positions, and four outfielders. The other players will then be rotated in each <br />inning with everyone getting their chance to sit on the bench. All players must <br />play a minimum of three innings in the field. <br />a Positions should be changed each inning. All players should experience playing <br />all positions. Coaches should start to emphasize position specific play so that <br />the children learn what each position does. <br />a All players will shake hands at the completion of the game. Coaches should <br />stress the learning of good sportsmanship. <br />a Scores and standings will -not be kept, a philosophy of skill development, <br />teamwork, and fun will be stressed. <br />Sportsmanship <br />Profanity and personal baiting of opponents by players or spectators shall not be <br />permitted. Abusive baiting is defined as remarks referring to the nationality, religion, <br />creed, or physical characteristics of an individual. The coaches shall remove anyone <br />from the game for violating this rule. (Note: Coaches are responsible for the behavior <br />of their team and their fans.) <br />Rain Out Policy <br />Where weather is a factor, the coach of each team should contact the Parks and <br />Recreation Department after 4:00 pm on the date of the game to find out if the games <br />have been cancelled. If the Recreation Department states that the games are on, each <br />team should report to their assigned fields; if the field is unplayable, a mutual decision <br />between coaches should be made at the field. Players are to call their coaches to find <br />out if the game has been postponed, not the Parks and Recreation Department. <br />Tips for Superball Coaches <br />a Teach position specific skills. Show the catcher where to stand along with all the <br />other positions. Explain what each position should do when the ball is hit to that <br />spot. Develop drills to teach the unique skills for each position. <br />a Start stressing the concepts of 3 outs per inning. Also stress that each batter <br />gets only 3 strikes. <br />a Develop drills that will improve the players hand, eye coordination both for <br />fielding and hitting. <br />
