Adult Softball Sub List
Substitute Player Rules
- If a substitute player is used, a team cannot have more than 10 players playing that week.
- If a team needs a substitute, the order of selection is:
- A player listed on the official substitute player list
- A player on another team not on the official substitute list
- A non-rostered adult who is at least 23 years old.
- The league director can make rare exceptions if needed. Our goal is to play games.
- A substitute player’s primary team is their first responsibility. If a player is unable to play in their own game, they should not be playing as a substitute for another team. Exceptions will be allowed in a case by case basis that must be approved by the league director.
- A substitute player must have read and understand the rules prior to stepping on the field.
- A substitute player must check in with the league director prior to stepping on the field for all games.
- A non-rostered substitute player must sign a waiver before they can step on the field. It is the team captain’s responsibility to confirm their substitute has signed their waiver, and that they understand the rules of play. A substitute only needs to sign a waiver once per season.
- If after the start of play, a rostered player arrives, they will join in at the start of the next half inning, and their substitute player will then be removed from the game.
- A non-rostered substitute player may only substitute in three games before they are required to officially roster and pay the league fee.
