Figuring out a substitution rotation can be a pain for youth coaches. Here is a simple number system that might make is easier. Good Luck!
1. Assign each players a number 1 – 15: Before the game, assign each player a number. You can do it based on age, skill, or rotate it each game. A coach does not need to share the numbers with the players, but it might be helpful. (The only problem is some of the players might confuse the fielding number with the batting order. As a coach you might choose to keep both numbers the same.) It also can work if an assistant keeps track of this so the head coach can focus on instruction.
This system can be used for any number of players on a team. I have included the rotations for 11 – 15 players. This is a league that has 10 players on the field (4 outfielders).
