SWPLL Baseball & Softball Rules
Rules
Rules are an important part of of Little League. Rules are reviewed and published annually by Little League Headquarters. Each umpire, coach, and manager should receive a copy of the rules at the beginning of each season.
It is unfortunate that Headquarters does not publish an online version of the rulebook. However, we strive to keep all umpires, managers, coaches, players, parents and spectators as imformed as we can.
You can see the local rules by clicking on the icons below. These rules should be used in EVERY SWPLL game played during the regular season, however local rules are not applicable when teams play in a tournament or the post-season.
It is important to note that local rules may not weaken the Little League Rulebook. If a local rule is found to violate this fundamental principal, it should not be called or enforced by Coaches or Umpires.
