Great questions. Dakota has given you good answers.
We all appreciate softball parents coming here to learn more. It definitely makes our jobs easier on the field.
To give you an eye open-er, I was going to direct you to a National Federation of High School's (NFHS) rule book, and show you the 4½ or 5 pages of the rules for pitchers. We have another book that has about 3 more pages of sample "case" plays to demonstrate the rule book. Unfortunately, there is not an NFHS rule book online.
There is an National Softball Assoc. (NSA) rule book online. You can find that at
http://www.playnsa.com/modules.php?n...howpage&pid=7.
Select the first link for 2005 Rulebook and Section 6, on pages 98-101 of the PDF file, has the pitching rules for fast pitch. I think they are the same, except "section 3", where in high school, this step back is allowed.
Thanks for asking... and ask more. It keeps us on our toes.
