Hello

Welcome to Above the Dirt Sports Amateur Sports Team

We are a passionate group of athletes dedicated to softball and improving our skills. Hosting Florida tournaments for 50 and over softball players, including 50's, 60's, 65, and 70 age categories Join us for a fun and competitive experience! At Above the Dirt Sports, we are committed to fostering a love for amateur spo

Unique Rules That set Us Apart

  

Pitching Arch & Pitching Screen

  • Our allowed pitching arch is 6 to 12 feet.
  • Our pitching  screen is custom-built for fairness and safety, measuring 6 feet 4  inches tall and 3 feet 1 inch wide—compact enough not to interfere with play but effective enough to protect pitchers.


Courtesy Foul Rule

We have reinstated the courtesy foul rule to keep at-bats competitive and fair:

  • With two  strikes, a batter who hits a foul ball receives one additional pitch.
  • Exception: If the foul ball hits the pitcher’s net, the batter is out.

This promotes competitive hitting while protecting the pitcher.


Rabbit Runner Rule

To maintain defensive fairness, we use a modified rabbit-runner rule:

  • Rabbit runners  may only run to first base.
  • If they round first or make a turn toward second, they are automatically out, and all other runners return to their previous base.
  • This prevents rabbit runners from forcing the defense to alter their throw based on a runner who is not permitted to advance.
  • However, if the throw  is overthrown at first base, the rabbit runner may advance at their own risk.


Player Check-In & ID System

We use a secure ID barcode check-in system for every tournament weekend. This system ensures:

  • Each player is checked in electronically,
  • Players compete for only one team per weekend,
  • Rosters remain accurate and fair.


Our Commitment

Our organization is built on fairness, clarity, and accountability. By maintaining consistent rules, prioritizing safety, and giving coaches a meaningful voice, we are creating an environment where players of all age divisions—50, 60, 65, and 70—can enjoy competitive softball the way it was meant to be played.
