Starting Player
I was at the cages the other night and began talking with another guy as we took turns swinging. He said he was practicing because he had just been invited to play on a team in our area. I could sense he was somewhat a newby to slow pitch softball, so I asked him if they played USSSA or ASA. He had no idea what I was talking about, so I told him they were essentially two different governing bodies for softball with similar but different rules. He asked me the differences, which stumped me a little.
I told him he had to use bats approved for the specific league (USSSA or ASA) and that the pitching arc and methods varied. But beyond that, I couldn't think of any other "major" differences. I know there are subtle nuances in the rules, but are there any other "major" differences?
