Little League Playing Time Rules: Ensuring Fair Opportunities
Question
Is there a rule about how much play time (on field and at bat) should be given to each and every player on the team in Little League? Also our Couch is putting the same kids at bat each inning and some of the kids haven't made it off the bench at all. Is there ruling about this?
Answer
Hey Sarah,
There ARE rules about playing time in little league.. Each league is different, but the minimum he should be playing is 2 innings per game with 1 plate appearance, or 3 innings every other game.
If no, you need to talk to the Commissioner of the league to find out the rules for your league.
