Baseball Canada's 11U guidelines point to the pitch count rules in its Rules & Regulations for Championships. The 2026 edition sets these 11U daily rest requirements:
| Pitches thrown in a day | Days of rest |
|---|---|
| 1 to 25 | None |
| 26 to 40 | 1 day |
| 41 to 55 | 2 days |
| 56 to 65 | 3 days |
| 66 to 75 | 4 days |
| 75 | Maximum |
Any rest required starts immediately and the pitcher is ineligible for the rest of that calendar day. Each required rest day runs from 12:01 am to 11:59 pm of the next calendar day. Pitches thrown after midnight in a game that continues past 12:01 am count as if thrown before midnight. Any player on the team is eligible to pitch, and there is no limit on the number of pitchers a team may use in a game.
