Blastball RULES: BlastBall!® provides an ideal entry level of play for young BOYS and GIRLS who will go on to other advanced levels of the game. BlastBall!® is meant to put FUN into the game of Baseball/ Softball. It is designed to generate fast-paced action, provide recreation and exercise, create enthusiasm. BlastBall!® teaches all five basic fundamentals of baseball and softball: hitting, throwing, catching, running and fielding. It is also just a ton of fun with fast and continuous action and simple rules. BLASTBALL will be played with 7 to 8 players per team although the game can be played with fewer players if a team is missing some members. Each team is required to have 1 Head Coach and 1 Assistant Coach. The defensive players take an infield or outfield position marked by a square for each position. A BlastBall is placed on the BlastTee and the first batter hits the ball and runs to the BlastBase. If the batter reaches the Base before a defensive player either catches the BlastBall in the air (an automatic out) or fields it and yells BLAST , he scores a run. The BlastBase is audible, emitting a loud H O N K whenever the runner stomps on the base. When fielded, the defensive player then throws the ball to the home plate coach. If the ball is caught or fielded and BLAST is yelled before the runner gets to the BlastBase, then the runner does not score a run.. Its just that simple! Each team bats the entire line up for each half inning. In the 2nd inning, the line up must be reveresed. Each game consists of 2 innings, with no time constraint. We do not keep score at this level. We do not require umpires at this level. Gloves are not needed because of the softness and size of the Ball, but are optional. While players will not get hurt by the ball, helmets must be worn to get players used to playing with a helmet in future years. Every player will be encouraged to run all the bases but only 1st base will be a honking Blast Base.
