The Coastal Plain League Is Silent About This One Rule: What You Need to Understand When it comes to youth sports leagues, especially those in the coastal regions, the Coastal Plain League stands out for its grassroots commitment and strong community bonds. But behind its unassuming reputation lies a little-known rule that’s quietly shaping how the league operates—and why it’s finally time for transparency. ### What Is the Silent Rule? Officially, the Coastal Plain League governs youth baseball across several districts from North Carolina’s eastern shore to parts of Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Its core mission focuses on fair play, skill development, and inclusivity. Yet, there’s an unofficial but enforced rule that few members publicly discuss: Strict limits on game duration and mandatory rest periods between innings, especially during post-season tournaments.
