Depending on your defensive strategy, it's either left field, right field, center field and short field; or right field, right center field, left center field, left field (if you play 4 deep outfielders).

A typical softball uniform consists of a short-sleeved or sleeveless jersey supplied by the organization, shorts or sliding pants, and stirrup or other high socks.  Anything goes, really; jerseys vary from cotton tees to polyester baseball-styled ones.  Pants can be full-length or cropped below the knee to show your socks.  Shorts come in a huge variety of fabrics, but polyester, mesh, or nylon are the most common.  In colder climates, long-sleeved shirts are often worn under jerseys.  Most teams wear visors as well.  In addition to the uniform, many girls wear sliding shorts to prevent abrasion to the hip and a slider to keep your legs from being cut.  Cleats are worn by most players.  If you want to learn more, you can try looking at products on www.softball.com- they have equipment and clothing.

softball game consists of at least 7 innings. In each inning, each team bats until three batters have been put out (see below). The teams take turns batting. Officially, which team bats first is decided by a coin toss,[2] although a league may decide otherwise at its discretion. The most common rule is that the home team bats second. Batting second is advantageous.\n\nIn the event of a tie, extra innings are usually played until the tie is broken. If the home team is leading and the road team has just finished its half of the seventh inning, the game ends because it is not necessary for the home team to bat again.\n\nIn all forms of softball, the defensive team is the fielding team; the offensive team is at bat or batting and is trying to score runs.

You don't really need a "backup" for the infield positions (C, 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, ss)...unless of course you got stud players at those positions.  Catcher, 2B, SS are typically weak positions.  I don't know which players you have, but I'm guessing you could have more productive players on your team.  It's not that important to have a backup for each position.\n\nIt's a very good idea to get players that can play multiple positions...gives you a lot of flexibility.  \n\nAs far as pitching goes, 3 or 4 closers is just right...assuming they are good ones.  I don't know who your starting pitchers are so I can't comment on them. =]

In soccer, lacrosse, etc.: 4-4-3... 4 indicates the number of forwards. The second 4 indicates the number of midfielders. The 3 indicate the number of defensemen. Because there are ten players (excluding the goalie) 4-4-3, etc., is an incorrect combination. It would have to be: 3-4-3, 4-3-3, etc. Thanks!\n\n____________________________________________________\n\nIn Baseball: 4-4-3, 6-4-3, etc. is the numbers of the positions involved during a double play. The number of each position is as follows.\n\n1- Pitcher\n2- Catcher\n3- 1st Baseman 1B\n4- 2nd Baseman 2B\n5- 3rd Baseman 3B\n6- Shortstop SS\n7- Left Fielder\n8- Center Fielder\n9- Right Fielder\n\nFor example, a 6-4-3 double play would be a ground ball to the SS, SS throws to the 2B as second for the first out, and the 2B throws to the 1B for the second out.\n\nIf the number is something like 6-6-3, it means that the SS fields the ball, touches second base for the first out, and throws the the 1B for the second out.\n\nHopefully this clears things up for you. Glad to be a help!

Talk to some of them too.

Pitcher - 1\nCatcher - 2\nFirst Base - 3\nSecond Base - 4\nThird Base - 5\nShortstop - 6\nLeft Field - 7\nCenter Field - 8\nRight Field - 9\n\nWhen announcers say 4-6-3 double play, it means second baseman to shortstop to first baseman and they got two outs. These numbers are meant for keeping score in a scorebook. That's why the announcers say it. If you're listening on the radio, it's much easier for you to keep score if they say the numbers for you.\n\nSome common double plays are:\n6-4-3 (SS-2B-1B)\n4-6-3 (2B-SS-1B)\n5-4-3 (3B-2B-1B)\n1-2-3 (bases loaded) (P-C-1B)\n3-6-3 (1B-SS-1B)\n3-6-1 (assuming the first baseman is going towards second when he fields it) (1B-SS-P)

Here is a website that has girls softball rules

The three sizes that are used for play in adult slow pitch softball are 11", 12" and 16".  The 11" ball is a little bit harder and is used in women's play and by women on coed teams.  The 12" ball is used in men's play.  The 16" ball is used in areas where the fields are small (ball doesn't travel as far when hit), like big cities (Chicago for sure).  Hope this helps.

If you mean USSSA do a search, they publish their rules online. They are not very comprehensive though.\n\nIf you mean ASA, or USA softball, those must be purchased from an ASA commisioner. Go to the ASA website (search ASA Softball) for more info. \n\nYou can also check in some sporting goods stores, I have seen the previous years books in some.

one ball on the pitch, but you might have 4 extras on the side lines for throwings and if the ball gets flat.\nt

I played softball for 9 years and it all depends on where your standing and what position.You would throw it like you would a baseball

Softball.com. Whatever you do don't buy used. I would also reccomend really going to a store, that way you cant try them and find one that fits and works for you. Try Dicks Sporting Goods (pricey but well known) or Olympia Sports

There is in fact a palm pilot type of softball scorebook out on the market. The palm pilot will also keep track of the pitch counts for the pitcher. Try a sporting goods store like Chick's or Sport Chalet in your area.

The base paths of a standard softball field are 60 feet long.  The diamond as it is so called has four 60 feet paths and the distance between home plate and second base is a shade over 80 feet.  The pitchers rubber is 40 feet from home plate and generally flat (as opposed to a baseball mound which is raised).  There is no standard size for an outfield and they vary by location. A good rule of thumb would be to have fences that are 180 - 200 feet from home plate on the foul line and 220 to 230 or so in center field.  \n\nHope this is helpful
