Co-Ed Positions
Question
Can you tell me the best positions for the female and male players in coed slow-pitch softball? i have quite a few adult first time players. doing this for fun but i was unsure of where to play everyone. THANKS for any guidance you can provide.
Answer
Hello Cassie,
Unfortunately, I only played part of one season several years ago in a co-ed league, but I'll tell you what I think. Men's positions for co-ed: Third, Shortstop, Left Center, Left, and Pitcher. The reasoning for all is that I want more speed at left and left center. I want a stronger arm at third and shortstop so they can play deeper. I don't want a female pitcher getting hit by a strong male hitter. Hopefully this doesn't sound chauvinist, but that is my reasoning. All other positions I would play either female or male.
