Yes you can slide into first base. It has been done in Major contention games where every out counted. I.E. game 5 or 6 or 7 of a World Series, division series, or the like. 9th inning. It is not comonly see because it is usually your close or you out when you hit the ball.
Yes, you are more than welcome the slide into first base if the opportunity calls for it. On close plays girls playing at very competitive levels will dive to first base. A lot of times this makes the difference between being safe and being out. Plus, it just looks cool and impresses any college coach watching with how committed you are to the game.
Don't know if it's illegal in Little League to slide into first base, but it certainly isn't necessary. The reason for sliding into a base is to try to keep the baseman from tagging the runner. Runners going to 2nd, 3rd, or homeplate must be tagged out unless it is a forced run, in which case the baseman just tags the base. Running to first base does not require a runner to slide since the runner doesn't have to be tagged at first. All the baseman has to do is tag the base.
Absolutely. He can even roll if he wants to. If the runner is trying to avoid a tag he can slide, duck or roll in any way possible to reach first base. If you're trying to beat the throw, sliding probably isn't the right thing, since it slows you down dramatically.
Never, it's faster to run . SPrinters never slide past the finish line.
Yes. Despite what little league rules are due to safety precautions, there are times where it's faster to slide into first in professional Baseball.

Fastest way to slide in softball?
When you slide you slide into second third or home never slide into first. you don't have to slide when it is a forced out either. To slide you run at full speed if you slow down you could injure your self and wont go far on the slide. you should slide about 7 feet from the base. When you start to slide don't hesitate . go legs first. here are some things to remember when sliding 1st- stick your left leg out and pretend to be reaching for the base with it 2nd- fold your right leg at the knee under you left 3rd- keep your body down (the point of a slide is to dodge the ball) 4th- do all of this before you hit the ground 5th-dont think just do it 6th- it may hurt even if you do it right but it will hurt more if you do it wrong here are tips for practicing it 1-get sweat pants on (they cushion you if you mess up) 2-go outside on the grass (just to get used to it ) 3-wet the grass (that way you slide over it ) 4-practice (if you practice it enough you wont have to think in a real game)

The player become hit and out and loses his turn to win a point. He should have ran because they throw it to the base not to the person whatever comes first. I am a player in China and I never ever stop when I hit the ball .
