in softball what is the uniform for softball?
543238
A typical softball uniform consists of a short-sleeved or sleeveless jersey supplied by the organization, shorts or sliding pants, and stirrup or other high socks.  Anything goes, really; jerseys vary from cotton tees to polyester baseball-styled ones.  Pants can be full-length or cropped below the knee to show your socks.  Shorts come in a huge variety of fabrics, but polyester, mesh, or nylon are the most common.  In colder climates, long-sleeved shirts are often worn under jerseys.  Most teams wear visors as well.  In addition to the uniform, many girls wear sliding shorts to prevent abrasion to the hip and a slider to keep your legs from being cut.  Cleats are worn by most players.  If you want to learn more, you can try looking at products on www.softball.com- they have equipment and clothing.

Baseball, also know as "hardball" is where the game is played with a smaller ball, and the pitcher throws the ball overhand.  The second difference, and ofter forgotten, is that the base runners can leave the base to steal at any time they choose.  Also, "leading off", or standing off the base is allowed.\n\nSoftball uses a ball with a larger diameter, and the pitcher throws the ball underhand.  \n\nThere are 2 types of pitching styles allowed in softball.  First, "Fastpitch" softball allows the pitcher to wind their arm over up and over their head and pitch the ball in straight line.  Speed is the focus on pitching.  The strike zone is the same in baseball, which is throwing the ball over the plate, above the batters knees, and below their elbows.  As for base running, the runner must stand on the bag until the pitcher releases the ball towards home plate.\n\nThe second is "Slowpitch", where the pitcher throws the ball underhand,  up in the air towards the batter, and must reach an arc between 9 to 12 feet.  Different then "fast pitch", a strike is called when the ball "falls" and hits the plate, and a 1 foot extension on the back of the plate.  \n\nFor base-running in "slowpitch", a runner can not leave their base until  the ball crosses the plate.\n\nLastly, in Professional Baseball, you have 9 innings.  In Softball, you only have 7 innings.\n\nI also think in baseball you can do a lot more spitting :)

The three sizes that are used for play in adult slow pitch softball are 11", 12" and 16".  The 11" ball is a little bit harder and is used in women's play and by women on coed teams.  The 12" ball is used in men's play.  The 16" ball is used in areas where the fields are small (ball doesn't travel as far when hit), like big cities (Chicago for sure).  Hope this helps.

Softball.com. Whatever you do don't buy used. I would also reccomend really going to a store, that way you cant try them and find one that fits and works for you. Try Dicks Sporting Goods (pricey but well known) or Olympia Sports

<The first version of softball was invented in Chicago, Illinois in 1887 by George Hancock, a reporter for the Chicago Board of Trade, as a winter version of baseball. It was intended to be a way for baseball players to keep in practice during the winter.

A classic myth is that softball is full of lesbians - an idea that emerged from one of the great pillars of intelligence, the U.S. Army, which historically conducted its witchhunts for lesbians by heading for the softball games. \nIt is true that lesbians play softball, even lots of lesbians; but many straight women play softball too. In total softball gear, it is hard to tell who is this, that, or the other thing: They all look like softball players.

The playing field is divided into fair territory and foul territory. Fair territory is further divided into the infield, the outfield, and the territory beyond the outfield fence.\n\nThe field is defined by two baselines or foul lines that meet at a right angle at home plate. The minimum length of the baselines varies classification of play (see below for official measurements). A fence running between the baselines defines the limits of the field; this fence is equidistant from home plate at all points.\n\nBehind home plate is a backstop. It must be between 25 and 30 feet (7.62 and 9.14 meters) behind home plate.\n\nHome plate is made of rubber. It is a five-sided figure, a combination of a rectangle and triangle, 17 in (43 cm) wide. The sides are 8.5 in (22 cm) long. The triangle fits into the right angle formed by the baselines.\n\nHome plate is one corner of a diamond with bases at each corner. The bases other than home plate are 15 in (38 cm) square, of canvas or a similar material, and not more than 5 in (13 cm) thick. The bases are usually securely fastened in position. The bases are numbered counter clockwise as first base, second base, and third base. Outside first base (that is, in foul territory) and adjacent and connected to it is a contrast-coloured "double base" or "safety base". It is intended to prevent collisions between the first baseman and the runner. The runner runs for the foul portion of the double base after hitting the ball while the fielding team tries to throw the ball to the regular first base before the runner reaches the safety base. However, not all softball diamonds have these safety bases and they are much more common in women's softball than in men's. The double base is required in ISF championships.\n\nThe infield consists of the diamond and the adjacent space in which the infielders (see below) normally play. The outfield is the remaining space between the baselines and between the outfield fence and the infield. The infield is usually "skinned" (dirt), while the outfield has grass in regulation competitions.\n\nNear the centre of the diamond is the pitching plate. In fast pitch, a skinned circle 8 feet (2.44 meters) in diameter known as the pitching circle is around the pitching plate.\n\nA field is officially supposed to have a warning track between 15 and 12 feet (5 and 4 meters) from the outfield fence. However, if the game is being played on a field larger than required, no warning track is required before the temporary outfield fencing.\n\nLocated in foul territory outside both baselines are two Coach's Boxes. Each box is behind a line 15 feet (5 meters) long located 12 feet (3 meters) from each baseline.\n\n\n[edit] Official baseline dimensions\nFast Pitch Baselines Slow Pitch Baselines \n60 ft (18.29 m) 60 ft or 65 ft (19.81 m) \n\n\n[edit] Fast pitch pitching dimensions\nAdult Under 18 Under 15 \nFemale Male Female Male Female Male \n43 ft (13.11 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 40 ft (12.19 m)or 35 ft 46 ft (14.02 m) 40 ft (12.19 m)or 35 ft 46 ft (14.02 m) \n\n\n[edit] Slow pitch pitching distances\nAdult Under 18 Under 15 \nFemale Male Coed Female Male Female Male \n46 ft (14.02 m) 50 ft (15.24 m) 50 ft (15.24 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 46 ft (14.02 m) 46 ft (14.02 m \n\n\nall same

bike shorts come in many different colors, even red.  the most popular colors are black and blue.  many teams have multi-colored uniforms, based on the sponsors logos.  shop around and you will find them.

Slo-pitch softball pitchers toss from 35 feet to 55 feet from the plate.\n\nFast pitch distance is usually 40 ft for women and 43 feet for men.
