JV may not have a "State" tournament everywhere, but our JV/B-Squad/9th Grades have a conference playoff at the end of the year.

The press release from NFHS only says Varsity. Some people have posted that a state association could adopt it for JV too. Here is the press release:


Actually, the state can do anything they want. NFHS rules, in reality, are merely suggestions to the members which choose to use their rules. Like ASA, they can be amended locally to suit the league, conference, competition, etc.

I know what is happening in high school. I was looking for ASA tournament pitching distance(s) for 14U.

It is 40' and cannot change until next year, at the earliest, but I doubt it will.

Only change I see happening is a lot of HS pitching is going to be worser.

If the 16U's could pitch at 43, they'd probably be playing 18 now.

No way can 14's go to 43 IMO.
