Softball

Its important because it keeps you in good shape and healthy, teaches values such as teamwork and setting goals, gives people a positive place to interact with peers, teaches you hand- eye cordination, and much more.

The batter must be inside the batting box up until the point after the ball makes contact with the bat. Batters must wear helmets with little caged masks. If a ball is thrown to a hard-to-hit spot that is not in the "batting zone," then the batter does not have to swing. That is called a ball. If the batter gets four balls thrown against them, then it is considered a "walk," where the batter gets to first base automatically. If the pitcher throws the ball to a hittable area, it is called a strike, regardless of if the batter swings or not. If the batter gets 3 strikes, they are out. Foul balls count as strikes unless there are already 2 strikes; then the batter stays up to bat until they hit it fair, strikeout, or get walked. 3 outs end the inning and the teams switch places.

The binding of a glove is typically used around the outer wrist and palm area. It's used to looks and to soften rough areas. Check out Akadema's glove builder and it will outline where the binding is.

There are several ways to reach first base, but the 5 ways to be awarded first base, without putting the ball into play:

1. Hit-by-pitch

2. Base on Balls

3. Intentional Walk

4. Dropped 3rd strike

5. Catcher interference (hitting catchers glove while swinging)

The bases are 60 feet apart. The pitchers mound is either 40 or 43 feet away from home plate depending on what division of softball you play. The outfield depth varied form field to field.

You usually need one from each team if you have real umpires but I would carry a few extras just in case one gets messed up, or flies out of the park. If you are just playing a game just for fun, you really only need one! :)

Catalyst the composite -1 is the best of our time. The mayham rocketec has a good distance and power but the catalyst is more durable and hits harder.

The first softball game was played on Thanksgiving Day in 1887. They players played inside of a gym at Farragut Boat club, located in Chicago, IL. The believed inventor of softball is George Hancock.

Aluminum

Although they are still made you rarely see an aluminum bat used. Current composite bats are made from a mixture of carbon fiber, glass, and kevlar embedded in plastic resin.

Anderson Bats depends on what you're looking for. Composite bats are better but have some cons. A great place to go for lots of information is www.baseballbatreviews.ruqqa.com any bat is fine just look for great reviews and go for personal prefference or use your friends' bats and see how you like it and dont get it because it looks cool or it is something everyone has

Definition. A starting pitcher is credited with a shutout when he pitches the entire game for a team and does not allow the opposition to score. By definition, any pitcher who throws a shutout is also awarded a win. Because he recorded every out for his team and didn't allow a run, his team could only have won.

The catcher must know which bases are loaded, and where the next play will be.

They have important role, because they're the only person in the infield that can see all of the bases. They must know where the lead runner is so they can make sure she doesnt get home.

For a middle teen and high school catcher good is 1.7 seconds.

You could technically, but a softball would not fit in a baseball glove. The slit in a baseball glove is a lot smaller than the opening in a softball catcher's mitt. It would be very hard to actually catch the ball with a baseball catcher's mitt

Yes, there is a difference. Regular compression shorts are good for comfort and moisture management. Neoprene gives much more compression for muscles with the goal being reducing fatigue and retains heat better keeping muscles warmer. Recurrent muscles strains such as groin or hamstring will benefit more from the neoprene.

Go with the Easton Salvo or The Demarini J2 Flyswatter. Awsome Bats.

The standard softball must weigh at least 6.25 oz and no more than 7 oz.

Yes, if it is a force out, as long as the fielder has the ball in his possession (glove or free hand) if he touches the bag before the runner with any part of his body then the runner would be called out.

Now if this was a play that required a tag, and the ball was in his bare hand and the tag is made with the glove, or visa-versa, then the runner is safe

Professional softball has a very modest salary cap. The annual salaries range from $7,500 to $15,000 per season.

As many as she can without getting sore. There is no limit like is common in baseball. The softball pitching motion is much more natural and places much less sress on the shoulder if the pitcher's mechanics are correct. Many top softball pitchers can throw two games a day if needed,
