Question
What is the distance you pitch from? What is the dimensions of the field?
Lisa: If the coach pitch league is a part of the Little League minor league system, the distance between bases is 60', pitching distance is 46'.
On page 42 of the Little League Rule Book, there is a diagram showing all mandatory, as well as recommended distances for playing fields.
In researching coach pitch online, there are numerous independent leagues, with varying pitching distances used, ranging from 50', to 42 feet. The majority were 46'.
The distance between bases stayed with the 60' size.
I hope this helps!
Yours in baseball,
Rick
