Catcher moves up into the batter's box

Or at least the fair lines, catcher must be in fair ground.

ASA and PONY both say 10 feet from the rear of the batters boxes, so the front of the catcher's box is the rear of the batters boxes.
I can't find that in NFHS, but the diagram shows a 10' length back from the batters boxes, even though there is no line across the space behind the plate.

ASA Rule 2-D : The cather's box shall be 10 feet in length from the outside corners of the batters' box and shall be 8feet 5 inchess wide. The box does have a front, just not lined. And the catcher may move up.

When are they allowed to move up?

Whenever they please, but do so at their own peril.

Or a reaction to F2 being fair territory
