Fall
ball is considered a developmental time for teams to get a chance to play in
the new league they will be eligible to play in next year. Teams can have a minimum of 10 players and a
maximum of 12 players on their roster.
Teams are allowed to use substitute players during Fall Ball. Substitute players may be any player on any
team within your division. A substitute
can only play in the outfield and must bat at the end of your line-up. A substitute can only be used if team falls
below 9 regular players on its roster. A
game is forfeited if a team fields less than 6 players on its roster.
Teams will be responsible for purchasing their
own uniforms and insurance for the team from USSSA. Proof of team insurance must be turned in
with rosters.
