Junior League is essentially the old U15 age group and plays with the following dimensions:

  • Pitching distance is 54ft (not 60ft like seniors)
  • Runners can lead off bases and may attempt to steal at any time
  • An ondeck batter is permitted 
  • There are still restrictions on the number of pitches a Pitcher can throw in any one game and is still age dependent.
  • Every player on a team roster shall be included in the team’s batting line-up for the full duration of the game.
  • There are minimum participation requirements for all players in this age group.
  • There are no catching restrictions.
