Softball in Boston FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Just a glove! Bats are optional and we provide the rest!
As long as it follows the four part rule: They must have a visible ASA certified sticker. They must not be double walled. They must not be made of composite materials. The handle can not be ZnX alloy.
Sliding feet first is allowed as long as it is not deemed dangerous (Not going to hurt someone). Headfirst sliding is not allowed.
A dead ball occurs when the ball is thrown past first/third or hits an object not in play. For overthrows, a dead ball typically occurs when the ball passes the dugout line. Players standing on a base will advance one. Players running to a base will advance to the base they are running to.
Tagging up is when the ball is caught in softball, or touched in kickball, all players on base must touch their base before they can advance to the next base.
If you cannot get the ball (stuck in a fence, out of play, etc.) put both arms in the air and alert the umpire. This will result in a dead ball.
