Kickball WHAT!!?

Kickball is a fun, inclusive coed game, similar to softball or rounders but you kick a big, red, rubber bouncy ball rather than swing a bat!

It is played on a softball diamond with a 10- to 16-inch inflated rubber ball. As in softball or rounders, the game uses 3 bases and a "home plate." Teams score by advancing their teammates around the bases and scoring when a teammate crosses home plate. The fun part about kickball as that you can get someone out by throwing this red bouncy ball at them as they try to advance to the next base (don't worry, it doesn't hurt!). Don't believe us? Check out the test video

Kickball is also sometimes affectionately known as "soccer baseball". 

TEAMS

• Teams will be selected on the day
• Each team must field 10 players minimum (it is recommended to have 12 players per team)
• Each team is required to have at least 3 women in the field with at least two women playing infield positions (i.e. 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd base, shortstop, pitcher or catcher)
• Every player present is required to be in the kicking line up
• Players must kick in the same order through out the game

GAME

• Games shall consist of 3 innings
• Teams will rotate if 8 runs scored
• Trash talking is permitted as long as it is not cruel, racially motivated, hateful, or a personal attack on another player. The trash talking should only be good-natured and shall not be allowed to get out of hand.

PITCHING/CATCHING

• Pitches must be underhanded
• The ball must cross the plate within a foot on either side
• The ball may not bounce more than 1 foot off the ground as it crosses the plate
• The pitcher must stay behind the pitching strip until the ball is kicked. Failure to do so results in a ball
• All infielders must stay behind the imaginary line stretching from first to third base until the ball is kicked -- failure to do so results in a ball

KICKING

• All kicks must be made by the foot
• Any lower leg contact while attempting to kick the ball will be considered a kick regardless of where it strikes the leg or foot
• All kicks must occur at or behind home plate. Both feet must be on or behind home plate at the time the ball is kicked. If one or more feet are in front of home plate at the time the ball is kicked, it is a strike and the kick is called back (if such a kick is caught on the fly, it is an out)
• Bunting is allowed (a bunt is defined as a kick that does not travel further than first or third base)
• Men who bunt may be mocked. Mercilessly.

RUNNING

• A runner may only move off his/her base after the ball has been kicked. And you can’t pass the runner in front of you. Nor can you pick up the runner in front of you and carry them. (Although that would be kinda cool). These are outs.
• Hitting a runner with the ball above shoulder level is not allowed. Any runner hit above the shoulders is safe and advances one base. Exceptions: If the runner intentionally uses his head to block the ball the runner is out. If the runner is ducking (i.e. attempts to dodge the ball) and is hit in the head because of this, he/she is out
• If a kicked ball is caught on the fly, runners must tag their originating base (on or after the moment the ball is first touched by a fielder) before running to the next base.

STRIKES

• The strike zone is one (1) foot on either side of the plate and is one foot high
• As long as any part of the ball passes through the strike zone, the ball is a strike
• A kick occurring in front of home plate is also a strike (if such a kick is caught on the fly, it is an out)

BALLS

• a pitch outside the strike zone
• any fielding player that crossing the “imaginary line” that runs from first to third and cross the pitching mound
• four (4) balls will get you to first base

OUTS

• a count of three strikes
• a runner touched by the ball at anytime while not on base (unless a head shot)
• any kicked ball (fair or foul) that is caught before it hits the ground
• a ball tag on a base to which a runner is forced to run
• kicking out of order
• a runner leading off the base or stealing
• a count of three outs completes the team’s half of the inning

BALL IN PLAY
Once the pitcher has the ball in control and is within 10 feet of the pitching strip, the play ends
