Pitching and Defense

1. The defensive team may set in any order the team wishes. There is no set rule for placing defending players, except that they must be behind the pitcher until after the ball is kicked.

2. The offensive team will supply the pitcher. There will be one pitch unless it is fouled off, then the kicker will receive another pitch. If fouled again, the kicker will be out.

3. Each team is required to have a catcher.

Kicking & Running

1. Kicking Order: A team must kick all members of their team. A team must keep the same kicking order in game's entirety. Kicking order may not change mid-game.
