Blastball is a modified version of baseball, designed to introduce young players (typically ages 3-5) to the fundamentals of the game in a fun and engaging way. It emphasizes skill development and participation over complex rules and scoring, with a focus on keeping the game simple and enjoyable.
Here's a more detailed look at Blastball:
Key Features:
Modified Rules:
Blastball utilizes a simpler game format with fewer rules and no umpires.
Soft Equipment:
Players typically use foam bats and oversized, soft baseballs, reducing the risk of injury.
Parent Involvement:
Blastball games often involve parent participation, with coaches and volunteers assisting with instruction and game play.
Emphasis on Fun:
The game's primary goal is to introduce children to the joys of baseball and foster a positive learning environment.
How it's Played:
Hitting and Running:
Players hit off a tee and run to a single base (the "Blast Base").
"Blast" Call:
When a fielder catches the ball in the air or fields it on the ground, they yell "Blast," which signifies an out.
Winning:
A batter scores a run if they reach the Blast Base before a fielder can catch the ball or yell "Blast".
Limited Outing:
In some leagues, the game may end after a batter hits once around the lineup or when three outs are made.
Safety and Gear:
Soft Equipment: Soft bats and balls minimize the risk of injury.
Gloves and Helmets: Gloves and batting helmets are often optional, but can be used for added safety.
Parent Involvement: Parents are often involved in coaching and assisting with game play, ensuring a safe and supportive environment.
