How do you play a game of softball?

Answer 1

All 10 defensive players are allowed to wear and field the ball with a fielders 'glove'. Two defensive players are allowed to wear a 'mitt', but are not required to wear a mitt. They are the 1st Baseman, and the Catcher.

Any defensive player using a mitt illegally will not be able to execute or contribute to an out.

When fielding a batted ball, the fielder should place themselves directly in the path of the ball, shoulders should be perpendicular to the path of the ball. The fielders back should be straight, knees bent, center of balance low, (the area of the navel) the glove should be on the ground, palm up, back straight.

Answer 2

Wait back on a middle outside or outside pitch. You want to make contact later than usual. On an inside pitch you're most likely going to pull it. If you don't want to pull the ball either take the pitch or if you have to strikes you can try to foul it off and wait for the outside pitch. It's really important you wait for the pitch because if you try to pull it you're going to hit it off the end of the bat or miss it completely.

Answer 3

Some games start with a toss coin, others depends on where the teams are playing. For officiating softball starts when umpire shouts "Play Ball!"

Answer 4

Put your glove on the ground like a pal, keep your knees bent and your groin low, Stay in front of the ball and most importantly don't be scared of the ball.
