Peewee Rules
Peewee House League Rules
These rules were established in keeping with the philosophy of the Association that the principal aim for Peewee baseball is to have fun and teach good sportsmanship, as well as try to further the basic skills of baseball.

- All players are to receive equal playing time. All players are to be entered into the batting order.
- Unlimited substitution for defense play, except for pitcher and catche
- Any person warming up the pitcher must wear a catcher’s mask.
- Game time (duration) to be determined by the home (host) centre. In Simcoe, no new inning to start after 1hr 20 mins.
- A pitcher may only pitch a maximum of 9 outs per game. If the 9th out is in the middle of an inning he/she may complete that inning. Once the pitcher is removed, he/she may not pitch again that game or catch.

- Head to head( if played equally)
- Total runs for / number of offensive innings minus

- Number of offensive batters minus number of defensive batters
Game Notes
If you are the home (last) team to play on a diamond, it is that team’s responsibility to put away the bases and any other equipment left out on the field.
If your game is cancelled due to rain or other reasons, it is also the HOME team’s responsibility to attend to the ball park to ensure that nothing is left out on the field.
