go to any sporting goods store(i.e.-dicks, sports authority,dunhams and so on). get a baseball scorebook(some stores even have a softball scorebook). in the front of the book(or back) they give an easy step by step instructions on how to keep score. remember in softball you have 4 outfielders not 3 so the   positions in the oufield are left, left center, right center and right. most score booke have diagrams in them. good luck.\n\nmike

1.   Hide the ball in your glove.  \n  \n2.   Grip the ball with your middle and index fingers perpendicular to the seams at their widest point, with your thumb underneath the ball.  \n  \n3.   Spread your top fingers apart slightly and keep your ring finger and pinkie tucked into your palm. (Image 1)  \n  \n4.   Hold the ball firmly, applying pressure with your middle finger and thumb. Try not to let the ball rest in the palm of your hand, and keep your index finger relaxed. (Image 2)  \n  \n5.   Wind up into the pitch. Use the same pitching motion as in your other pitches so that the batter cannot predict a curveball. (Image 3)  \n  \n6.   Keep your wrist relaxed. After drawing back the pitch, hold your wrist so that the back of your hand points toward your body. (Image 4)  \n  \n7.   Roll your wrist downward and to the right (if you are right-handed) or to the left (if you're left-handed) immediately before releasing the pitch. (Image 5)  \n  \n8.   Release the pitch and follow through by bending your wrist. A right-hander should finish with the palm facing in toward the chest. The top of your thumb should be facing up.  \n  \n9.   Throw the ball between the batter and home plate if you're a left-handed pitcher facing a left-handed batter or if you're a right-handed pitcher facing a right-handed batter.

Hello,\n\nSoftball Rules Simplified   \n\nTHE GAME\n\nThere are 9 players on a softball team. \nThe playing field is divided into the infield and outfield \nThe lines between the bases are 60’ apart and when joined they form a “diamond”, inside the baseline is known as the infield \nOutside the baseline but inside the playing field is called the outfield. \nAny ball going outside the 1st or 3rd base line is a foul ball ( runners can not advance and the batter gets another try unless the ball was caught in the air, which translates to an out) \nAn official game is 7 innings (a inning is when both teams have had their turn to bat) \n\n\nPITCHING\n\nThe pitcher must have both feet on the pitcher’s rubber and can only take one step forward while pitching. \nThe ball must be thrown underhand. \nBoth hands must be on the ball at the start of the pitch. \n\n\nBATTING\n\nBatters must follow the same order throughout the whole game \nThe batter is out if and when: \na) three strikes have been called\n\nb) a fly ball is caught\n\nc) the batter does not stand in the batter’s box\n\n\nBASE RUNNING\n\nRunners must touch each base in order \nRunners may overrun 1st base only, all other bases the runner may be tagged and called out if they are off the base. \nRunners can not lead off a base, they must be on base until the ball as left the pitcher’s hand \nAfter a fly ball has been caught the base runner must tag the occupied base before advancing to the next base \nOne base runner can not pass another base runner that is ahead of them. \nStealing a base is not permitted \nA runner is out if: \na. they are tagged with the ball before reaching a base\n\nb. the ball gets to 1st base before the runner\n\nc. they run more than 3 feet out of the base line to avoid being tagged\n\n\nTERMS:\n\nBall- a legally pitched ball that does not enter the strike zone (four balls equals a walk) \nGrounder- A ball that is hit on the ground \nForce out- when the runner has to advance to the next base to make room for the following base runner. \nFly ball- ball hit up in the air to the infield \nOn deck- the next batter \nPop up- ball hit up in the air to the infield \nStrike- term used when a ball is swung at and missed or is called when the ball enters the strike zone and is not swung at all. \nStrike zone- the ball passes the batter over the plate between their chest and knees  \n\nSreekar.

Best I can give you is...\nThe infield shall be a 60-foot square for Little League Baseball (majors) division. Minor League Baseball and Tee Ball.

Each position is numbered as follows:\n\n1-pitcher\n2-catcher\n3-first baseman\n4-second baseman\n5-third baseman\n6-shortstop\n7-left fielder\n8-center fielder\n9-right fielder\n\nSo, when they say a 6-4-3 double play, it indicates a play where the ball went from the shortstop to the second baseman to the first baseman.  1-u indicates the pitcher recorded the out unassisted.

Evaluate your lineup and player attributes. Place the best contact hitters and speed runners near the top of the lineup and play small ball to score runs early. Be aggressive on the bases and try to steal often. Most pitchers won't expect it, or might make a bad throw to the base, either way you advance the runners. Teach the hitters to work the count and take pitches. Most pitchers will not get the ball over the plate everytime. You can get more walks and increase the pitch count on the opposition which will force them to go to the bullpen. Play the outfield deep so they can run toward the ball if it is hit shallow, it is much harder to run backwards and catch a pop fly. Teach pitchers two good pitches and make them stick with it. A decent breaking ball in would very difficult for most 16 yr old hitters to make contact with. Even if the breaking ball ends up in the dirt , they will swing. I could be more specific if you gave more detail on the team's weaknesses.

here are the official rules...12 players

Three play in the field at any time.  Most teams carry 2 or 3 additional players capable of playing the outfield.  With 30 teams, there are probably 150+ outfielders in the major leagues.

If the score is close hold the runner on.\nIf the game is a wipeout, play behind the runner\nIf the runner is fast, hold him on.\nIf the runner is slow, play behind the runner\nIf the batter is lefthanded and the first baseman is holding a running on be sure the 2nd baseman can slide over to take some of the whole through the infield.

In a game of cricket, there are 12 players per side. But only 11 players can bat and/or bowl. The 12th player, usually called "12th man" is just a substitute player. He can only field.\n\nScoring:\n6 runs : If the ball crosses the boundary rope directly without touching the ground it is a sixer\n4 runs : If the ball crosses the boundary rope after pitching in the ground it is a boundary\n1,2,3.. runs can be run before the fielder picks the ball and hits the stumps.\nIf the ball missed the stumps and rolls away, the batsmen can run again. This is called overthrow.\nThe other ways of runs\n1 run for a noball and wide\nlegbyes and byes\n5 runs if the ball hits the fielding side helmet, kept behind the keeper

1)single\n2)double\n3)triple\n4)HR\n5)error\n6)wild pitch\n7)passed ball\n8)steal home\n9)balk\n\nkinda cheap to count the 4 different types of hits but I couldn't think of any other way to get 9. \n Squeeze play wouldn't work because with 2 outs you'd only need to get the out at first and inning is over and if he makes it to first then it's a single so it's no different.\n Sac Fly?  there are 2 outs though someone else already pointed that out.\n \nWhat about catcher's interference?  Does the man on third get a base or do you have to be forced to move to get to on that type of play?\n\nhmmm...that's all I can think of right now.
