Blastball…TeeBall with a Twist
Watch the videos
For
younger players (age 3-6), Blastball is an excellent introduction to
the game of baseball. It allows for many touches and constant action
to hold young people’s short attention spans. With smaller teams than
T-ball, more kids get to be involved and develop interest and basic
skills in the bat and ball concept.
Blastball uses a batting tee and incorporates some of the rules and
fundamentals of baseball, but at a much faster pace to keep children
active and interested.
The
rules of Blastball are simple: There are two teams, one in the field
and one at bat, but fewer players, no formal field positions, and only
one base. The Blastbase, a fair distance line marker, and a sideline
cone designate fair territory. The base features built-in horns that
honk when stepped on. Each batter hits the ball past the fair
distance marker and runs to the Blastbase. HONK!
When
the ball is stopped by a fielder, she holds the ball up and yells
"Blast!" If the fielder yells blast before the batter honks the base,
the batter is out. If the batter honks the base before the fielder
yells blast, the batter scores a run.
