Rules for Fast Ball are as follows:

1. Teams may be comprised of 6‐10 players. 2. Teams will bat a master batting order each inning, the order of which will change each inning thereafter. 3. Fielders should have a new starting position each inning. 4. Teams will both bat and play in the field at positions as designated on the field diagram. 5. The purpose of Fast Ball is to be faster than your opponent in fielding and running than they are at hitting and running. The goal is for players to learn basic baseball and softball skills such as fielding, running bases, field orientation, teamwork skills, and most importantly having fun! 6. Players in the field will be placed into positions as designated on the field diagram. 6 players will play in the field of play at a time. Other players will be at the 1st base line, as indicated, with a coach, the players sitting out, need to be ready to go in once the ball is fielded and either out or safe is called. 7. When a player fields a ball in the infield, that player will try to run the ball, to the hitting tee before the batter reaches 1st base. All Batters and Runners may only advance one base at a time. If a player fields a ball in the outfield, the fielding player will try to run the ball to the Coach at the pitcher’s mound before the batter reaches 1st base. If the fielder reaches the tee or coach before the batter reaches 1st base, the batter is out. If the batter reaches 1st base before the fielder makes an out, the batter is safe and gets to run all other bases as a runner. 8. If a batter safely reaches 1st base, they are able to run all other bases until team are thorough their master batting order. Please note, fielders may not play in the baseline and runners may not obstruct fielders. Interference by a runner will result in that runner being called out on the bases. Obstruction by a fielder will result in all players being called safe. 9. This game is intended to be fast paced. Coaches and parents are encouraged to help fielders and runners make positive plays for their team. 10. Games will be ½ hour in length, approximately 3 innings. 11. Rule modifications may be made at any time by the Nevada Parks and Recreation Department.
