That rule is only in effect during playoffs. CIF SS Softball Preview has following excerpt from their Blue Book:
#2521. PLAYOFFS
Refer to Article 320 (Playoffs) for details regarding playoff information. (Specific information will be contained in playoff information bulletins.)
#2521.1 The Commissioner has the authority to determine the sites of all softball playoff contests. For any playoff contest, the Commissioner may direct that such a contest be played on an alternate field if the home field does not meet CIF Southern Section standards.
#2521.2 Teams entered in the softball playoffs will NOT be permitted to take batting practice on the day of a playoff game prior to the commencement of the contest.
See Playoff Bulletin for definition of batting practice.
