BLASTBALL GAME RULES
In Blastball, each player gets an opportunity to hit the ball each inning. 3 innings are
played and an inning is complete when each player has had a turn at bat. Each game
should taking approximately 45 - 60 minutes to play. Practices are usually held once a
week (30-45 minutes maximum).
In Blastball, the Blastbase is the only base used and placed at the first base location.
Each team takes a turn at batting (offence) and fielding (defence) per inning. Defensive
players rotate fielding positions much like in a regular baseball game with the defensive
players taking an infield or outfield position. For each at bat, the ball is placed on the tee
and the batter hits the ball and runs to the Blastbase. Once the batter steps on the
Blastbase, a horn sounds. When the defensive player either catches the ball in the air,
or fields the ball, they yell “BLAST”. In Blastball, there are NO SAFEs or OUTs. The
batter returns to the dugout after their hit and run to the Blastbase.
In Blastball there is no need for gloves as the Blastball is soft and baseball gloves are
optional. The softness of the ball will also eliminate the fear factor of being hit by the
ball. Batting helmets are mandatory for safety reasons and jocks or jills are
recommended. All players and coaches must also wear long pants on the field. Parent
duties consist of raking the field before and after each game.
