Fossil Park Dizzy Dean Youth Baseball & Softball - 50 Years Of Excellence!
Rules & Regulations
Fossil Park Youth Baseball is proud to announce the addition of Girl's Softball to our league offerings. Both the Boys Baseball and Girls Softball shall operate according to Dizzy Dean Baseball Guidelines except as outlined in our Rules and Regulations during local league play. On this page you will find links to the official baseball rules and regulations governing both league organizations as well as Major League Baseball Rules.

We have recently revised the Fossil Park Youth Baseball Rules and Regulations and these rules shall be effective for commencing in the 2008 Spring Season. The new Fossil Park Rules and Regulations are available for download and review on this page.

It is recommended that every manager, coach, and avid fans read up on the new rules. It is also the manager's responsibility to know the rules as they pertain to the various leagues. Fossil Park Rules shall take precedence over all other rules during local league play. Any rule not covered in the League Rulebook will fall under those of Dizzy Dean Baseball, Inc. and elsewhere in the Major League Rulebook.
