Make it fit your game
A batting order and a plan for every inning
Fastpitch, slowpitch, and adult rec leagues use different lineup rules. This preview has 9 fielders. In the full app, you can turn on four outfielders for a 10-player defense and configure your team’s batting-order settings. Check your league’s requirements before choosing a format.
Read down an inning to check every field position. Read across a player’s row to check their assignments and bench turns. Review the card with your assistant coach before the game.

Softball rules that shape the lineup
Fastpitch, slowpitch, and adult rec leagues each run differently, so check your league’s current rulebook. These are the softball rules coaches plan around most.
Pitching limits are usually innings, not pitches
Little League Softball limits innings pitched in Minors and Majors rather than counting pitches, and has no pitching restrictions in Juniors or Seniors. The USA Softball and NFHS softball national rulebooks set no pitching limits at all, so local associations and tournaments often add their own.
Ten fielders in slowpitch
Some slowpitch leagues play with four outfielders. In the full app, turn on four outfielders in your team settings to add left-center and right-center field. The free preview on this page uses nine fielders.
Batting order and DP/FLEX
Little League Softball Minors through Juniors use a continuous batting order. USA Softball and NFHS softball use DP/FLEX instead of a standard designated hitter. The full app’s rule-set templates for those two turn on its designated-hitter option as the closest match, so review the batting order against your rulebook.
Minimum play
Little League Softball requires every player in Minors through Juniors to play at least 6 defensive outs and get 1 at-bat. Rec and adult leagues often set their own playing-time rules.

Before you make your lineup
What can I do here without signing up?
Add up to 20 players, set a batting order, and manually assign 9 softball field positions for 3 to 5 innings. Print the lineup card and a first-inning field diagram. Your work stays in this tab and is lost when you reload or leave; print it before closing the page.
Can I build a slowpitch lineup with 10 fielders?
Yes, in the full app. Turn on four outfielders in your team settings for left, left-center, right-center, and right field. The free preview on this page uses 9 fielders. Co-ed batting-order requirements need your own review; don’t assume every local rule is checked automatically.
Does softball use pitch counts?
Usually not. Little League Softball limits innings pitched in Minors and Majors, and the USA Softball and NFHS softball national rulebooks set no pitching limits, though local associations and tournaments often add their own. The full app lets you track either innings or pitch counts for your team.
How does DP/FLEX work in the lineup?
USA Softball and NFHS softball use DP/FLEX rather than a standard designated hitter. This free page doesn’t model it. The full app’s rule-set templates for those organizations turn on its designated-hitter option as the closest match, so check the resulting batting order against your rulebook.
