But at that age, the distance from the plate is only 4 inches, not 6 inches like on the big boys' field. It is very possible for all LL participants (12U) to be both in the box and on the plate at the same time, as the line is very close. There is no penalty for this in all OBR based games. Only in the wonderful world of Fedlandia is there any such nonsense.
