base running rules.

[Gulf Coast Blue]

No slugger......you do not have to slide at home.......

BUT.....you do have to avoid crashing into a fielder that has the ball waiting to make a play on you......

You can: Perform a legal slide, go around the fielder (and possibly be called out for running outside your baseline avoiding a tag), give up, jump over the fielder, or try and go back to the last base previously held.....

Print out the rules from the website.......it will make it easier to study them.....and you will have a hard copy you can take with you and review whenever you have a chance.

Good luck

Joel

And to Patrick.........sometimes it is GOOD for the players to know the rules..............grin
