1. For safety sake, a "helmet" should always be worn when batting.

Batting helmets must be worn at whatever point a player is at bat, holding up to bat, or running the bases. A few groups may even expect pitchers to wear them. Helmets should constantly fit appropriately and be worn accurately.

In the event that you have to alter the separation, you can utilize chalk to attract a line nearer to home plate.  

The International Softball Federation proposes that youngsters 12 and under utilize a plate-to-hill separation of 35 feet. For a long time 12 to 14, the plate ought to be 40 feet from the pitcher's hill. The proposed distance for a fast-pitch diversion for grown-up men is 46 feet. Quick pitch diversions for grown-up ladies more often than not have a mound to-plate way of 43 feet.
