For some of our ASA-based girls FP rec leagues, among many of the mods that have already been mentioned, they limit pitchers to 12 outs. That keeps coaches who are blessed with a good pitcher from dominating the entire game. Of course, the workaround is to have the pitcher go the first two or three innings, then finish up at the end.

We also have a couple of 12U leagues that let the younger girls to pitch from 35 feet away, as if they were playing in a 10U league. Not a problem except that the fields don't have a plate that's 35' away. They just chalk a line from that distance, which goes away pretty quickly.

They also allow 10 players on defense (four outfielders).

Sorry; can't answer questions about SP because I refuse to do those games.
