Fall and Spring Seasons

The fall season typically starts late September through the end of October.  Fall is a great for player development, especially as kids move up to a new age division.  Fall player ages are based on the age the player will be for the upcoming spring season.

The spring season starts early March, before spring break, and ends mid-May.  All-Star teams are selected from the spring teams to continue competition and tournament play through the summer.

For the fall games, we don't keep official scorebooks and scores, as there are not trophies handed out for the fall season.  Teams typically play 8 games each.   For spring, teams typically play 12 games each, scores are kept and trophies are awarded to winning teams.

What is FunBall/BlastBall?

 

FunBall is played with a maximum of 5 players per team. A smaller number, such as 2-3 players per team works equally well.

The defensive players take an infield or outfield position. A BlastBall is placed on the BlastTee and the first batter hits the ball and runs to the BlastBase. If the batter reaches the Base (the only base used) before a defensive player either catches the BlastBall in the air (an automatic out) or fields it and yells "BLAST ", he scores a run. If the ball is caught or fielded and "BLAST " is yelled before the runner gets to the BlastBase, then the runner is out. It’s just that simple!

For more details see the overview and rules document.
