LHLL Upper Division Rules

Lower Divisions

Little League Blue Book rules apply unless specified differently below.


Single-A Division (player/coach pitch):

  • The first three regular-season games will be coach pitch.
  • From the fourth regular-season game onward, single-A will be a combination of player pitch and coach pitch, as follows: for each batter, a maximum of 5 pitches will be thrown by a player, then up to 3 hittable (called strike) pitches from a coach if needed, and if a strikeout has not been recorded or a fair ball has still not been hit, the batter will be called out. The exception is if the last of the three coach-pitch pitches was a foul ball. In that case, the at-bat will continue until the first non-foul-ball.
  • Any strikes from the player pitch phase of the at-bat will carry over to the coach pitch phase.
  • The batting team will call balls/strikes on their hitters if no umpire is used.
  • There are no walks in single-A.
  • Runners are not allowed to advance on a passed ball.
  • Bunting is not allowed in single-A.
  • On outfield hits, hitters may advance bases until the ball is returned and breaks the outer plane of the infield
  • Little League official pitch count rules (per Blue Book) apply for player pitch; 1 inning maximum per pitcher is recommended
  • Run Limits: the side will retire after either three outs have been recorded, or five (5) runs have scored, or all players on the roster have batted one time in the half-inning.
  • Official score and standings are not kept
  • The 15/10/8 Run Rule does not apply
  • Time limits: hard stop at 1 hr 50 min of play

Rookie Division (coach pitch/Tee):

  • Shall play according to the rules above for single-A except:
  • Each team shall bat through the number of players present. All players will bat in each inning. If three (3) outs are recorded before batting through the order, the bases will be cleared and batting will continue.
  • No player pitching is allowed. Coaches will pitch to players on their own team, up to a total of (6) hittable pitches per at bat (not counting foul balls). If player fails to put the ball in play a batting Tee will be brought out to put the ball in play.
  • No new inning after 1 hour; hard stop at 1 hr 30 min of play

T-Ball Division (Tee):

  • Shall play according to the rules above for Rookie except:
  • Each team shall bat through the number of players present. All players will bat in each inning. Batters are awarded first base regardless of outcome of the play.  Batters may only progress to first base.
  • Runners advance one base per subsequent batter. The final batter of the inning “clears the bases.”
  • No new inning after 1 hour; hard stop at 1 hr 30 min of play
