Softball main equipment

Softball is designed based on the rules of baseball. Compared with baseball, the intensity of the competition is less and it is easier to promote on campus. Because the softball ball is soft and the bat is soft, it is very safe. When developing softball, you must have some understanding of the main equipment of softball. Let's take a closer look at the details of softball.

Softball is called teeball abroad and is called Lele baseball in Taiwan. In June 2006, Director Hu Jianguo of the Handball, Baseball and Softball Management Center officially announced to the media that it would land in China and called it softball. The way to play this ball is to place the ball on an inverted T-shaped stand and hit the fixed ball. This softball has many advantages:

Softball 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 softball 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.

Softball has looser requirements

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.

Softball is 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.
