Head First Slide in ASA
 

I know this likely has been covered at 1 time or another, but I cannot find it mentioned in any threads. SO, I am going to ask the question.

I keep hearing people tell me that the head first slide is not legal in ASA fast pitch softball. I was asked about it again last night so I pulled out the ASA rule book and went on a search (but would it be nice to have this in a PDF so we could search on words, but that is another debate:). I could not find any mention of head first slide. Since I cannot find it, I am thinking it is allowed.

Can someone enlighten me on this subject and piont me to the rule if I overlooked it.

Thanks,

Legal in ASA FP.

Legal in most codes of FP softball, though there are some leagues and organizations like Dixie who deem this a safety issue and have outlawed it.

Thank you very much

There is a PDF version of the ASA rulebook. It is included on the ASA mechanics CD, and also included on the new ASA casebook CD.
