What is Blastball?
Blastball, the introductory program of Stratford Minor Baseball, was developed as a fun way to teach all five fundamentals of baseball…hitting, throwing, catching, fielding and running for the young player ages 3, 4 and 5.
Simplicity and continuous action is what makes BlastBall so much fun. There are no complex rules, no umpire is required, and you don’t even need to have a baseball glove.
BlastBall is played with a “soft” ball and a moulded bat for optimum safety. The batter hits the BlastBall off the tee and runs to the base, which “honks” when stepped on.
It’s fast, it’s fun, everyone hits every inning, and the kids really learn the game of baseball properly. Parents will love the game because of the continuous action. Kids will no longer be coming home with their pockets full of rocks and dandelions!
Blastball games happen Saturday mornings at National Stadium and run for approximately 1 hour. It starts in mid-May and runs until the end of June. The cost is $30 per player.
