Blastball is a fun introduction to baseball. It features a soft baseball, hitting tee, and a base that honks when stepped on. It is open to players who are 4 as of January 1st.
There is very little equipment required. When the season gets underway, each player will receive a t-shirt and a ball cap. Please provide your player with comfortable track type pants, good running shoes or cleats, and perhaps a glove. Although not required as all the balls used are either soft foam or plastic, we would recommend an entry level glove that is not a hard vinyl. To be clear, a glove is optional but recommended for Blastball. We would like to see the players getting used to catching with a glove, however many of our drills will be done without a glove to get the right techniques started.
Blastball is held on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. The usual locations are Blakeburn
School. Your coach will confirm. New this year we will be indoors at Kilmer School if the weather is not great in April when we get started.
The season runs from April to June.
