Line Up (4 Innings)

Take the stress out of managing your lineup with this 4-Inning Roster and Position Rotation Chart. Designed for rosters of up to 12 players, this easy-to-use planning tool helps coaches map out every athlete’s defensive position for each inning before the game begins.

The full-game view makes it easier to distribute playing time, plan position changes, reduce sideline confusion, and ensure every athlete receives meaningful opportunities on the field. It is especially useful for recreational, developmental, and youth softball teams where balanced participation and organized rotations are priorities.

Use this chart to:

• Plan defensive positions for all seven innings

• Manage playing time across a 12-player roster

• Create fair and intentional position rotations

• Identify when each athlete will play or sit

• Make substitutions quickly and confidently

• Give assistant coaches a clear game plan

• Keep players and families informed and organized

Prepare your rotations before game time so you can spend less time managing substitutions and more time coaching your team.
