What you permit, you promote!
Sportsmanship Pre-Season Parents Meeting Code of Conduct review with players / coaches Designated Representatives Sportsmanship message before game Coach – Umpire Conference What you permit, you promote!

Designated Representatives
SCISA Requirement: Designated Representatives It is responsibility of each school’s administration to be an active agent at every athletic event enforcing the SCISA Code of Conduct. In the absence of the Head of School or Athletic Director, each school is Required to provide a DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE at all athletic events, both home and away. The Designated Representative will represent the school’s administration and will assist with the enforcement of the Code of Conduct.

Good Sporting Behavior
Coaches and team members should respect their opponents and officials. Pursuit of an official to the locker room, car or parking lot is unacceptable. School administration is responsible for security of the officials. Post-game ejections do exist. Coaches or parents who pursue officials after a game should be reported to the state association office. This issue is becoming a common theme, which is quite disturbing and counter-productive to the purpose of education based athletics.

SCISA permits a post-game ejection!

SCISA adopted Speed-up Rules:
Courtesy Runner. May be used, not required. For pitcher and/or catcher May use same runner but not in same half inning Intentional walks will be issued upon request. The 15 run rule after 3 innings and the Ten (10) Run Rule in 5 innings are in effect in all SCISA Games. 8th Inning & Beyond – Use International Tie-Breaker.

Non-Appeal Play On failing to proper tag-up or a runner missing a base, SCISA umpires will declare the runners out once the ball is declared dead.

Rule Review: Lineup Cards
Lineup cards should be verified by the head coach as correct – with name and uniform number and all substitutes listed – at the pregame conference Rule provides a penalty for a coach who fails to submit an accurate lineup card Umpires can assist with managing this situation by reminding coaches of the rule and giving them ample opportunity to verify the lineup card before final submission At the pre-game conference, lineup cards should be verified by the head coach as correct with name and uniform number and with all substitutes listed. This year’s new rule provides a penalty for a coach who fails to submit an accurate lineup card. Umpires can assist with managing this situation by reminding coaches of the new rule and giving them ample opportunity to verify the lineup card before final submission.

Lineup Card Inaccuracies (3-1-3 Penalty)
First offense = Team warning Second offense = Head coach restricted to dugout/bench for remainder of game Applies to changes made to name and number – not defensive position PENALTY ESTABLISHED FOR LINEUP CARD INACCURACIES (3-1-3 PENALTY): A new penalty was established for a head coach who submits a lineup card that must subsequently be corrected with the proper name/number of a player or if substitutes are added after the lineup card is submitted and verified. The new penalty will be a team warning. If the head coach has to again make a change to the lineup card after the initial team warning, he/she will then be restricted to the dugout/bench area for the remainder of the game. Opposing coaches and scorekeepers use a player’s jersey number to identify them as the proper batter and for substitution purposes. Previously, when the number was incorrect or substitutes were not listed, it caused a great deal of confusion without penalty. The new rule establishes a penalty if a coach fails to submit an accurate lineup card regarding name and number; similar to other team sports where a team’s roster and a specific playing order are paramount. This new penalty does not affect the illegal substitution or batting out of order rules. 3-1-3 PENALTY: After the lineup card has been submitted to and verified by the umpire and a change is subsequently made to a player/substitute name or number, or if a player/substitute is added to the lineup card, the umpire shall issue a team warning to the head coach of the team involved. Any further changes made to a player/substitute name or number results in the head coach being restricted to the dugout/bench area for the remainder of the game. Penalty was established for a head coach who submits a lineup card that must subsequently be corrected with the proper name/number of a player or if substitutes are added after the lineup card is submitted and verified.

Rule Review: DP/FLEX Option (3-3-6)
A team that intends to utilize the DP/FLEX option advises the Plate Umpire and their opponent during the exchange of line-up cards at the pregame conference. This change would require teams to make known the desire to use the DP/FLEX at the time the line-ups become official.

Questions about the DP / Flex?
On original line-up presented before the game. DP list as one of the 9 batters. Flex is listed in 10th position. Any combination may play defense. If flex or another eligible sub hits for the DP, the team goes from 10 players to 9. The DP may return.

Flex/Designated Player Education
The DP/Flex Rule was instituted to encourage further participation and flexibility of the game. The overall impact of this rule has been positive, however there still remains some confusion/challenges with the understanding of the rule. Support Information can be found at Officials – NFHS Central Hub under Softball Resources and Video tab Coaches – Information about the DP/Flex can be found at for the coaches and at for the officials. The information gives a clear description of what happens in the steps taken to use the DP/Flex. It should be studied intensely by coaches as well as officials.

DP/Flex Many umpires and coaches need to better understand the DP/Flex rule, which enables more participant opportunities for student-athletes and more flexibility to coaches. The DP/Flex allows the coach to use more players in the game.

Accommodating a Competitor with a Disability Rule 3-2-13 NOTE
Request for Accommodation by School State Association Review Approval from State Association Competition with Approval of Accommodation Under Rule NOTE, a student, through her school, may request an accommodation so that she may be included in the traditional sports program. Such individual accommodation approval, if a rule is modified, is processed and reviewed by the respective state association. Following the conditions set forth by the state association, the accommodation should be provided to appropriate meet officials. It is important for the students and schools to work together and work with the state association in advance of the season to allow adequate time for review. Showing up the day of the meet places the athlete and official in a no-win situation. So coach, plan ahead in these instances to help your student(s) get in the competition.
