They play if it lands on the track its out of play, unless the fielder touches it first, then it stays live. They also play off portable buildings and have about 9 feet of foul space behind home plate. With some of these young catchers, I have to umpire against the fence. Granted, their varsity plays on a fairly nice HISD stadium field used for varsity only. I've seen some HS stadiums in these parts (Houston) that make the Fish look like a sandlot.

Look at the fence in the outfield. I guess the crappy school district we live in isn't so bad. At least there's a real fence. We also have a utility cover in left field though.
