Junior Over The Line The Junior Over the Line Tournament is an annual event that brings together young athletes from across the region to compete in the exciting Over the Line (OTL) sport. This unique 3-player softball type game is open to junior players of all skill levels, allowing beginners to learn the game and experienced players to showcase their talents. The Junior Over the Line Tournament participants can look forward to a day of fun in the sun, filled with laughter, excitement, and the thrill of competition. The chance to test their skills against teams from different backgrounds adds an element of adventure. 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.
