Two years ago, I tried to get the 11" ball removed from the ASA Co-Ed game and the player rep presenting the rule damn near had his head handed to him on the way out the door. Those women were pissed someone even raised the question.
Here in the Chicago area there are a few different types of Co-ed SP played.

12" (None of the leagues I've done switch the balls between the 11 and 12)
14" Mushball (Yes the ball is very soft)
16"

We switch 12- and 11-inch balls in some of the coed leagues. It's a pain. In others, it's just the 12.

I have one of those 16-inch balls and have watched both 16- and 14-inch games in Illinois and Iowa, but no such play exists in NJ to my knowledge.

Do they make the 16" softball in yellow? All I've seen is white. If I could find a yellow one, I'd slip it into my ball bag to toss into a FP game just to see what happened next!

When I was in grammar school back in Chicago, we played "mushball" in the gym during the winter. This was in the early grades, and it was co-ed.
