Pitch Count reminders

There has been some confusion on the pitch counts for the 2010 season. This season's rule book was not out yet when a portion of our coaches manual was printed. The pitch totals that relate to days rest have changed somewhat since last year. Here are the 2010 Little League pitch count rules.

11 to 12 year olds - max of 85 per day
9 to 10 year olds - max of 75 per day
7 to 8 year olds - max of 50 per day

66 or more in a day - 4 calendar days rest required
51 to 65 pitches - 3 calendar days rest required
36 to 50 pitches - 2 calendar days rest required
21 to 35 pitches - 1 calendar day of rest required
20 or less pitches - no rest day required

Example: if a pitcher throws 52 pitches on a Monday, he must then rest Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The pitcher would be able to pitch again on Friday.

We hope this clears up any problems that may have arisen.
