DESCRIPTION:
BlastBall is an ideal way to introduce your youngster to the wonderful game of baseball. The name of the game here is HAVING FUN!! Team sizes are kept small (5 or 6) to ensures lots of repetitions (which improves development) as well as fast-paced action (for those short attention spans). A 2 team game structure is used that is very simple and can be picked up very quickly by the children. Foam bats and balls are used to keep it safe. Players will learn catching/hitting from hand eye co-ordination drills and they will learn to run to first.
BlastBall introduces all five of the basic fundamentals of baseball (& many other sports) :
- Hitting
- Throwing
- Catching
- Running
- Fielding
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED:
