Team Size
- A co-ed kickball team consists of nine players, including a catcher. At least four of these players must be female.
- All team members must be at least 16 years of age. ID must be present.
- The four-female requirement is still in effect even if a team starts with fewer than nine players.
-
Length of Game
- A game will be seven innings or forty minutes in duration.
- The ten-run rule will be in effect after the third full inning.
- The tournament will be a double elimination.
-
Rules of Play
- The pitcher is a member of the batting team, and thus pitches to his/her teammates. However, the team on defense is still allowed to place a player at the pitching position for defensive purposes.
- If the pitcher intentionally interferes with the play of a kicked ball, the ball is ruled dead. The batter is out and all base runners must return to the base that they occupied at the time of the pitch.
- If a kicked ball accidentally hits the pitcher, the ball is ruled dead. All base runners must return to the base that they occupied at the time of the pitch without liability of being put out. The pitcher is permitted to deliver the pitch again. No pitch is counted for the ball that hit the pitcher.
- Each batter is allowed three pitches.
- A foul ball on the third pitch is an out.
- Base runners may not leave a base before the ball is kicked.
- A base runner will be ruled out if he/she is hit with the ball at or below the shoulders before reaching base. An attempt to avoid being hit with the ball that results in the base runner being unintentionally hit above the shoulders will result in an out.
- A batter must kick the ball within three feet of home plate. Violating this rule results in a strike being called. Violating this rule on the third pitch results in an out.
- Males must kick with their least dominant foot. If there are questions regarding the use of the least dominant foot, the team on defense may request that the batter switch the foot that he is kicking with. This request must be followed.
- Bunting is not allowed.
