Overview
1. This handbook will outline CVALL regular and post season rules of Little League® International, the CVALL By-Laws and the Safety rules given to us by the Sweetwater Union High School District to be implemented and enforced by all CVALL managers.
2. CVALL is an all-volunteer league from the President, Board of Directors, and Managers and must include the parents. As such, it is the responsibility of each manager to ensure that parents fulfill their snack bar duty when assigned.

CHULA VISTA AMERICAN LITTLE LEAGUE
RULES
6
Minor B Rules
1. This focus of the division is development; scores can be kept for motivational purposes; not for standings
2. No bunting or stealing allowed (Until pitching)
3. Don’t run the score up
4. For the 1st 5 games of the year, bases coaches can “send” players to the next base while the ball is in the outfield. They should stop “sending” runners when the ball is back in the infield. (i.e. don’t send players to 2nd on poor throws to 1st base). You may be “aggressive” starting on game 6. There will, however, be no penalty for this rule. It is expected that coaches will simply play with courtesy towards each other.
5. Every player must be rotated EVERY inning. No player should play the same position more than two innings. We expect that every kid get an opportunity to play the infield at least once per game. Don’t “play to win.”
6. 2 hour time limit on all games
7. 5 runs or 3 outs ends an inning
8. Your parent’s behavior is YOUR responsibility
9. No pitchers in the machine circle….ever!
10. Balls that hit the machine are considered dead and the batter must return to the plate. His/her “count” of pitches will be re-set to zero.
11. Each batter gets 4 pitches. He/she can strike out. If the player watches the 4 balls go by and misses the 4th, it constitutes a strike out. (with the exception of foul balls)
12. There are no walks when the machine is in use.
13. The pitching machine will be used the first 10 games of the season. Live pitching will then begin on the 11th game.
14. When pitching is implemented batters can be walked or struck out (regular baseball rules apply to batting). However, if there are bases loaded, no batter can be walked in. On the 4th ball a tee will be brought to the plate and the batter will hit the ball into play to allow the defense to make a play. However, the strike count will be kept and the player can strike out if he/she does not hit off the Tee.
15. There will be 4 outfielders until live pitching begins.
16. Pitchers:
- No player 6 years old or 10 years old can pitch in the Min B division
- YOU are responsible for ensuring an accurate pitch count record
- Pitch count maximums are as follows:
• Ages 7-8 = 50 pitches per day
• Age 9 = 75 pitches per day
• Read the Little League Rule book for rest rulings
17. 6 year old players are not allowed to hit against live pitchers. A coach shall pitch to this player. There are no walks or stealing or bunts during this at bat. The player will receive pitches until he/she either 1) puts the ball in play or 2) strikes out. Good pitches, not swung at, will be judged by the umpire to be a strike.
18. Be a good model for your players and always show good sportsmanship
7
MINOR B Draft Rules
All information pertaining to the draft will be kept confidential by all parties included in the draft
1- Each manager shall grade all players, ages 6-9 years old, during the tryouts separately 2- Each manager’s child will tryout and be graded by all of the managers 3- The Player Agent will supply a list of players drafted to the Minor A division 4- The Player Agent will supply a list of players that must be drafted to Minor B 5- Managers will not select their own team; they will work together to create even teams 6- Managers will, together, assemble teams (labeled A, B, C…)
a. Managers should strive to create teams of even talent/ability b. It is suggested that rounds contain similar types of players (pitchers, catchers…) to
assist team strength during a trade (pitcher for a pitcher; SS for a SS) c. Siblings must be on the same team and in rounds appropriate to their skill level
7- Players that did not tryout, that no one “knows” of, and are must-draft will be placed at the end of the draft to fill the remaining spots on each roster by the managers
8- When team drafting is complete: a. A double blind draw will be used, by the player agent, to select which team each
manager will receive b. If the manager’s son/daughter is not on the team he receives, his son/daughter will
replace the player on his roster in the same round. The player removed will take the manager’s son/daughter’s place on the other team
i. This is not considered a trade 9- Trading:
a. Each manager may initiate 1 trade after they have received their team i. The trade must be declared as that particular manager’s trade as not to effect
the other managers’ trades b. It is possible for a team to have multiple trades, but only one of those trades can be
initiated by the manager of that team c. There can only be as many trades as there are teams total (i.e. 6 teams = 6 total
trades) d. Managers do not have to initiate or accept any trade if they choose not to e. There will be no trades after the draft is declared complete by the Player Agent (same
day) 10-Players added to rosters:
a. Teams can have up to 13 players Max on their roster b. Late signup players will be assigned to teams based on:
i. Roster space ii. Player Agent discretion (based on injury or balance) iii. Blind draw
c. Players signing up with less than 2 weeks before Opening Day will be put on a waiting list and brought on only for injury or Player Agent discretion
