So you are the travel ball coach who taught her this?
No, her dad was her travel ball coach. I was just a volunteer on an entirely different team and on a team she picked up with for a bit. Sorry, put the pitchforks away.

That was egregious and the catcher should’ve been benched for that.

So if it's strike 3 and her dugout is the 3rd base side, what's the batter supposed to do? How the heck are they supposed to get from the batters box back to the dugout?
By letter of the law? Stand with feet planted in the box until the play is over and the ball is back to the pitcher inside the circle. Once ball is returned to the pitcher and play is “over” she goes back to the dugout.
Nobody, and I mean nobody waits that long because it’s asinine and MOST catchers and coaches are big enough assholes to bean a batter square in the head just to draw an out.
But if there is a play at third, you stay in the box until the play is done, then you move after that.

This is taught by their coach. This catcher along with previous catchers on that team have done it numerous times.

And this is the problem. Batters are coached how to properly interfere and catchers are coached how to draw interference.
Just teach kids to play the fricking game and quit teaching them to bend every fricking rule.

From the National Federation of State High School Associations Softball Rules Book:
Here is the full, correct verbatim wording for Rule 7-4-2 from the National Federation of State High School Associations:
Rule 7-4-2:
“The batter shall not hinder the catcher’s fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter’s box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher’s play at home plate or the catcher’s attempt to throw or to play on a runner.”
So Chad, did she hinder the ability to make a play on a runner with where she stood outside the box? The rule is not written as you state it simply as the catcher just had to hit the runner you damn Chad

yes, 100%. Pride. You're out your element on this one bud. Take a seat, take the L's. There's no obligation of a catcher to avoid the batter out the box.

I posted the rule. Stepping out the box does not make it interference. You have to actually interfere with the catcher making a play
You keep posting it and nobody disagrees with you. All anyone is saying is that we have seen kids step out of the box trying to get out of the way of the play and accidentally step into the throwing lane. If if it’s not actually inhibiting the throws it’s called interference.
To the people that ask what are you supposed to do, you stay in the box until the ball is back to the pitcher, damn near motionless, if a play is at 3rd.
We all agree this play was bullshite. We all agree the ump fricked it up. We all agree the coaches that coached her to do that are POS’s.
But when a batter steps out of the box with a play at 3rd happening, it now opens the play to interpretation by the ump

These days she plays on some other team. From like 10-14 years old, it was the Louisiana Rippers which wasnt part of any organization, i dont believe. .
The travel team had kids from all over. Coaches gave players drills to video themselves doing and sending to coach to make sure they were putting the work in. Met up at the tournament and played.

stepping out the box didn't make it interference.
the ball being thrown off her head while 100% out the box made it interference.

I feel like the post you’re responding too is talking about the fist fight in the parking lot at 14

This is the part that throws people off into thinking if i stay in the box, im good or saying the box is the batter's.
A better way to say it is to not move at all. (like you did after this part re: damn near motionless)
You can move while not getting out of the box and still get called for interference if that movement intereferes with the catcher trying to make a play. Its an annoying rule. You want the kids to step out the box to get signals after the pitch, but only after waiting for the ball to get back to the pitcher. I guess one way to coach it is to teach your kids to freeze in the box until the ball gets back to the pitcher on all pitches.....except on a passed ball where the runner is coming home. Its tough for younger players to get.
