My point was that the line (which is considered IN the box) is NOT as far as you guys seem to be indicating from the plate itself. It doesn't require a big foot at all. I'll have my 3 year old at the field tonight - I'll see if she can be both in the box and on the plate - it'll be close, but I bet she can.
