A base runner has 5 seconds (i think could be a little different) to either return to the back they came from or to try to proceed to the next bag once the pitcher has the ball within the pitching circle. If the player waits too long after the pitcher enters the circle, they will be called out. If a player starts to go one direction, like back to the base they originally came from then switches directions, this is also against the rules and the runner will be called out.
If a fly pop on softball is hit to right field and you are running bases.. If you are on any base but Home, run halfway just in case the ball is caught. If the other team misses it.. keep on running. If the catch it run back to the base you were at.
Base running is definitely a crucial part in softball offense. First of all your running mechanics should be sound. When coming off a hit make sure to have an explosive first step and focus only on first base. When running around bases because of a hit from a teammate make sure to be aware where the ball is and follow your coach all the time
you can say: running around the bases as fast as a cheetah.throw the ball to first base as hard as a ....
Softball personally is one of my favorite sports! It is very fun to play! Seriously there is nothing like that rush when you are running home from third base! Especially if you have to do a little sliding!

if you get caught out if you are running from 1st to 2nd an 1st base puts their foot on the base while they have the ball and you are still running if you are running from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to home and they tag you with the ball if you hit 3 strikes ( sometimes fouls are counted as strikes)
the softball base is 60 ft then it goes to 90 ft when you get older.
batter is out, runners do not advance
1. strikeout 2. get thrown out 3. get tagged while running the bases 4. step off base while ball is in the circle and step back a.k.a. hesitation
no. the only way to get out while base running is: if you get thrown out. if you get tagged out. or, if you lead off before the pitcher has released the ball.
60 feet
