Event Information

Junior Over-The-Line® is a unique 3-player softball type game played on sand. The play area is marked out using rope and staked into the ground in a triangle pattern. Each team pitches to its players. The key rule is to hit a softball-type ball over the line to effect a hit, with 3 hits resulting in a run. Notably, there is no running of bases, making it a distinctive and exciting game.

Junior OTL is played the same way adult Over-The-Line is. The difference is court size. The peewee division is co-ed and played on a 35′ court, using a safety softball and hitting off a tee. For ages 9-11 and 12-14, the court size is 45′, and it uses a standard OTL ball and pitching.

All other divisions use standard-sized courts, balls, and pitching. Gloves are allowed for all divisions except the 18-20-year-old boys division. Round-robin formats are used, with 4 to 5 teams per court. Due to single-elimination play, awards are given to 1st—and 2nd-place teams.
