6U is a hybrid here. 3 coach pitches followed by 2 swings off the tee if necessary. Love the local rules I got for this league... They don't want the fielder chasing the runners around - they are trying to encourage throws, and prevent things like the shortstop fielding the ball and racing to first before the batter gets there. Here's the rule:

A tag can be made to a base runner from a defender that is within a REASONABLE distance from the base runner at the time of the play or if it is considered the NATURAL play to make, in the judgment of the umpire.

Every single argument I had last night rested on my personal definition of Reasonable and Natural. Yuck.
