Softball Glove Rules: Can a Catcher Play First Base?

Question
My daughter play 10 and under fast pitch soft ball.She is a catchers and sometimes plays first base she has two gloves but at a game she forgot her regular glove she was called to play first base and was flagged by the ref and told you cant play first with a mitt i always thought first and catcher were mitt positions.

Answer
HI Glenn,

IN ASA play...
Any glove or mitt legal for softball is legal at any defensive position.  This rule has been in effect for a couple of years now.

ps I mean this in the best way...we are umpires (most of us very proud of that) not referees
