How many players are needed to start a game?

Teams must have eight (8) players (at least two of which must be women for coed) to start.

Teams may loan players to an opponent or allow players from other teams to substitute; however, it must be determined prior to the start of the game whether the game will be counted as a forfeit or an official game.

Maximum number of defensive players is ten (10). No more than six (6) men may play defense at one time in a coed league; if a team has less than the minimum of four (4) women, they still cannot have more than six men in the field and must play with less than ten (10) (i.e., 6 men/3 women, 6 men/2 women).

Can a team move an outfielder to the infield?

Yes, teams may elect to move outfielders to the infield or vice-versa at the start of any half-inning, however, how positions are aligned at the start of a half-inning must be maintained through the entire half-inning (i.e., 5 infielders).

Designated outfielders must play at least fifteen (15) yards (45 feet) past the infield base lines. If a designated outfielder starts in front of that line and makes a play on a batted ball, the batter shall have the option to take the result of the play or a one-base award.

Does a female batter have to hit an 11" ball instead of a 12" ball in coed leagues?

No, a female has the choice of which ball they will hit each time at bat. The same size ball must be used through an entire at-bat.
