I wish they'd eliminate the leap from the women's game. Both NFHS and ASA. I see no reason to restrict leaping because of the sex of a player.

Many years ago in a company modified pitch league I played in, we had a couple of female pitchers. They pitched from the 46' distance. I don't recall that leaping was of particular concern back then, although the crow hop was a known violation. I'd guess if the women were pitching from 46', they'd be allowed to leap [w/ the toe pointed down, of course - but that's another discussion].
