Softball

The original intention of softball was to promote baseball and softball. Although the two are different in nature, they are equally competitive and interesting. Softball is a typical Western sport that is gradually becoming popular in China. Because both the ball and the bat are soft, there is no problem with safety. More and more schools are starting to develop the sport of softball. Let's take a closer look at softball.

The so-called "soft softball", whose English name is "Tee-ball", was originally designed to promote baseball and softball. It is similar to baseball and softball in nature. Its competitiveness and fun are comparable to regular baseball and softball. Its characteristics are simplified competition rules, low venue conditions, and a large number of participants. Moreover, the ball is soft, and the bat is also soft, which is extremely safe and very suitable for development on campus, from which students can experience the fun of baseball and softball.

It was originally designed to promote baseball and softball. It is similar to baseball and softball in nature. Its competitiveness and fun are comparable to regular baseball and softball. Softball combines running, jumping, throwing and hitting. It is a very good sunshine sport. It can not only exercise students' physical fitness and brains, emphasize the quick reaction ability of the picker, but also cultivate students' team spirit of mutual cooperation. It is a sports project beneficial to young people.

Its characteristics are simplified competition rules, low field conditions, a large number of participants, and the ball and bat are soft, which makes it extremely safe and very suitable for development on campus, through which students can experience the fun of baseball and softball. In developed countries such as the United States and Japan, this sport has become a sport that children must practice and master before the age of ten; some schools in China have introduced and developed this sport, and it will also become part of the school physical education reform in the future.

Key Benefits

Softball is called teeball abroad and is called Lele baseball in Taiwan. In June 2006, Director Hu Jianguo of the Handball, Table Tennis, Baseball and Softball Management Center officially announced to the media that the sport would land in China. This type of softball has many advantages.

Safety

The ball and bat of softball are made of foam rubber, which is soft and safe. However, hardball is suitable for competitive games and is not a good promotion project.

Cheap equipment

It has been more than 30 years since baseball and softball were officially restored in 1975, but the development of this sport has been very slow because the equipment is very expensive. A glove costs at least several hundred yuan, and up to tens of thousands of yuan. It takes at least 100,000 yuan to organize a team, and bats are completely imported. This situation makes it difficult to promote baseball and softball. A set of softball equipment only costs a few dozen yuan, which can be easily accepted by the public.

Requirements for relaxation

Venue: The hardball field must be completely enclosed, and no other people can be present at the scene once the game starts to avoid injury. The requirements for softball courts are not so strict and do not need to be closed because they are harmless to people. In terms of rules: The rules of hardball softball are very complicated and most people cannot understand them, while the rules of softball are simplified and can be accepted by the public. Softball is fun to play and easy to get started with, which can be said to lower the threshold for learning softball.

Easy to learn

There is a shortage of hardball softball coaches because the requirements for hardball and softball coaches are very high. They cannot be taught after graduating from a sports college. They must have received professional training, otherwise they will not be able to take on this responsibility. However, softball does not have such high requirements, so it is easier to popularize.
