Coaches Urged to Write Letter to National High School Federation

One of the important issues associated with our game is the question of whether or not the pitching distance should be increased in high school softball.  Currently, the official pitching distance is 40 feet.  Is it time to move the rubber to 43 feet?  The National High School Federation thus far has remained officially non-committal on the issue.

There are now two states (Florida and Massachusetts) that are now experimenting with the increased distance on a temporary basis.  It is likely that at some point the National Federation will use what is learned through these trials along with public input to make a decision regarding the distance.  Any rule decision the Federation makes will likely be in the context of how it impacts the average player as well as the effect it will have on the game.

The NCSCA would like to encourage every North Carolina high school softball coach to write a letter to the National Federation to express your views on the matter.  Regardless of which side of the issue you choose, you need to voice your opinion.  Our North Carolina athletes play this game with as much skill and dedication as anyone in the nation and we as their coaches should make ourselves vocal on important issues that will affect our players and the quality of the game.

When writing, your letter will have maximum impact if you are as brief as possible and to the point. Below are links to recent articles from around the nation that contain useful information about the high school pitching distance.

Send your letter to:

National Federation of State High School Associations

Softball Committee
PO BOX 690

Indianapolis, IN 46206
