Little League Softball limits pitchers by innings, not pitch counts:
- Maximum 12 innings in a day.
- Pitching 7 or more innings in a day requires one calendar day of rest.
- A single pitch counts as an inning pitched.
| Pitched 7+ innings on | Next eligible to pitch |
|---|---|
| Sunday | Tuesday |
| Monday | Wednesday |
| Tuesday | Thursday |
| Wednesday | Friday |
| Thursday | Saturday |
| Friday | Sunday |
| Saturday | Monday |
Innings in other Little League divisions count too. For example, a 12-year-old who pitches seven innings in a Junior League game in the morning can pitch only five more that day in Majors. Local boards may set stricter limits.
