In Baseball Australia Little League tournaments (Little League, Intermediate and Junior League), a pitcher is removed from the mound at the daily limit for their League Age, though they can stay in the game at another position:
- League Age 13-14: 95 pitches per day
- League Age 11-12: 85 pitches per day
- League Age 9-10: 75 pitches per day
Senior League (League Age 13-16) is also 95 pitches per day.
Rest days then depend on the pitch count. For League Age 14 and under: 1-20 pitches means no rest, 21-35 means 1 calendar day, 36-50 means 2, 51-65 means 3, and 66 or more means 4. A player can never pitch on three consecutive days.
