The Ontario Amateur Softball Association is proud to offer its pre-season Springboard Program in communities wishing to promote our fantastic game and past-time. The clinics offer fun skills and drills to players in two age groups: 8 to 12 and 13 to 16. Players can learn and practise the basic fundamentals of the game of fastball:

Catching and Fielding Throwing Hitting

There is also a pitching session taught by Softball Ontario’s CANpitch instructors. Be sure to check our website in early spring to find out where the Springboards will be held. Or, if you would like to host a clinic in your area, contact OASA Springboard Committee Chair Garry Waugh for further details.

AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS

The F. R. Feaver Memorial

The F. R. Feaver Memorial Trophy is awarded annually in memory of Frank Feaver who was the OASA Secretary from 1943 to 1956. Frank Feaver’s dedication, service and devotion played a major role in the expansion and development of the game of softball.

First introduced in 1972, this award is presented to a player, official or officer of any league or association who, in the opinion of the Feaver Award Committee, has made an outstanding contribution to the game of softball.

2018 F. R. Feaver Memorial Trophy

The recipient of the Feaver Award this year has spent all his life involved in softball one way or another. He started out as batboy, later a player, coach, and sponsor. You could say softball became his 24/7 passion.

His accomplishments are amazing: 24 OASA Provincial and Elimination Championships, 15 Canadian Championship Medals.

He has hosted 12 Provincial Championships from U12 to Men’s categories as well as 7 Canadian Championships.

He was also one of the first Canadian fastball pitchers to pitch in the ISC World Tournament in 1976 and 1977. He has thrown 2 perfect games in his career as a pitcher.

When not fundraising, coaching or organizing tournaments you will probably find him at a nearby diamond helping young girls and boys with their hitting and pitching skills. He mentors new coaches and will help out wherever he can and always with a smile on his face. His goal is to make sure players have a place to play each and every summer regardless of age.

Bill Simpson’s love for softball is evident in his own words, “This is the best game on earth, and I have never left and never will leave.” Softball has been Bill’s game for over 70 years.

Tournament Game Suspended

Rule 5-3 f. A game that is not considered regulation, shall be replayed from the beginning.

When an OASA tournament game is suspended it shall be resumed at the exact point where the game was suspended, if completed on the scheduled tournament weekend. If scheduled at another date, the game shall be replayed in its entirety from the beginning. This rescheduled game does not result in a new flip. New line-up cards will be submitted.

Warming Up the Pitcher

Rule 3-6

Exception: In U8 to U19, Effect #1 removal of the player from the game will not be used. Effect for U8 to U19: If any person catching for the pitcher will not wear the mask after a warning, it shall mean removal of the coach or manager of the offending team.

U8 – Ball

Rule 3-3 h. Official Softball

In U8 classification, the 11” soft indoor ball will be used.

U8 – Base Stealing

Rule 8-5 a.

In U8, there is no stealing of any base.

U8 - Bunting In U8, no bunting is allowed. All players will remain behind the safety line (which crosses through the middle of the pitcher’s circle) until the ball is hit or crosses the plate.

94


U8 – Pitching

Rule 6 Pitching

In U8, a coach on the batting team will pitch from the pitcher’s mound to the batters on his/her own team. The U8 pitcher will be at least beside or behind the pitcher’s plate.

Each batter will receive a maximum of five pitches.

If the Coach pitcher is hit by a batted ball the play is dead and the batter is out. Runners do not advance.

The play is dead when the ball has been thrown to the circle at the pitching mound, whether the ball is caught or passes through the circle. If a baserunner is halfway between bases, or farther, when the ball passes through the pitching circle, the runner may advance to the next base. If the baserunner is not halfway, then the runner must return to the previous base touched.

U8 Playing Field – Pitching Distance

Age Categories and Distance Table

In U8 classification, the pitching distance is 25 feet. (The baselines are 45 feet, the same as Mite U10.)

School Teachers and other School Staff! Are you looking for a new gym activity for your students during the winter or spring months? One that requires no prep time on your part?

The O.A.S.A. is working with schools to provide instruction in the skills of fastball. All equipment is provided by the O.A.S.A., keeping safety in mind: indoor softballs, whiffle balls, nets and rubber bats. We work with the physical education timetable that is set out for us for the day to instruct the students in hitting, catching, throwing and fielding. Our instructors are former players and coaches who have played and coached the game at high levels of competition.

By introducing the sport of softball in a fun way, we are hoping to encourage participants to sign up to play softball in their community. We are also working with local softball associations to have registration forms available for anyone interested.

If you would like more information, or would like to book a school clinic, please contact:

Dave Northern 905-706-7873 [email protected]
