I dont know of any "sanctioned coach pitch rules" per se, but what is used in my locale is a variant of ASA, and Dixie, or LL rules. The game is played as "T" ball, with some changes. We use in our area recreation employees as umpires, so I only have firsthand knowledge from a few years ago, and also from my daughter who worked rec this year.

The rules should be as few and as simple as possible, geared to the age level of the kids. I would suggest leaving what worked alone, and revising what didn't promote teaching, and sportsmanship. If any way possible, parents/fans should be allowed to watch only from a 500 foot distance! That is about the only problem I remember from my coach pitch days!
