2001 NSA RULE CHANGES Youth Fastpitch The following 5 rule changes represent the major revisions affecting the youth fastpitch program. Click here for a complete listing of all NSA rule changes. 12U pitching distance has been changed to 40 feet. 20U & Adult Women’s pitching distance has been changed to 43 feet. Teams now have the option of using two EP’s. A courtesy runner may be used for both the catcher and pitcher after two outs. The courtesy runner must be the last player due up at the time the substitution is made. The pitcher and catcher are determined to be the last players occupying those positions on defense. If in the top of the first inning, the pitcher and catchers are those listed as such on the official lineup card. The on-deck batter may take a position within the lines of the on-deck circle on either side of the batter. If the on-deck batter chooses to stand on the opposing team's side, she cannot block the view of the opposing manager or coach. 10U "A" teams can now steal one base at a time, with no stealing home and still no dropped third strike. Any local tournaments that have a mixture of "A" and "B" teams will allow stealing. Tournaments that prohibit "A" teams will not have stealing (this includes the "B" World Series).
