Also, can you slide in slow pitch softball?
There is no rule in the ASA rulebook requiring a runner to slide. The baserunner's responsibility is to avoid interfering with the defense and avoid contact with the fielder when a play is being made. They can slide, surrender, change directions (up to 3 feet), etc.
Moreover, what are the rules of slow pitch softball?
For slow pitch played with a 12-inch ball, bases must be 65 feet apart. The pitcher's platform must be 50 feet from home plate. The minimum fence distance is 300 feet, with the maximum 315 feet.
Sliding is allowed, but not at all bases. Runners may slide feet first into second or third base. Runners may not slide into first base or the safety base at home plate . Runners may not slide head first into any base on the field.
