Details

Kickball is a simple game consisting of two teams, bases, and a big red ball. Played like baseball, the goal is to score more runs than the opposing team. Here is a list of general rules/concepts central to gameplay, from team structure to other less discussed rules.

• 10 fielders.
• TBD # of innings (depends on number of teams entered).
• 2 base coaches.
• “bouncies” are allowed but it must bounce at least twice before home-plate.
• Strikezone is 1 ft on all sides of the home-plate (and above)
• You can throw a runner out, but no headshots.
• one base on an overthrow.
• forced outs.
• no ghost men.

One team takes the field and the other prepares to kick. Play begins when the pitcher rolls the ball to the kicker. Once the kicker kicks the ball, they run around the bases in order depending on how far they kick the ball – further kicks will afford the runner more time to traverse more bases.

If a fielding player catches the ball before it touches the ground, the kicker is out. If a fielding player manages to get the ball and pass it to one of the players on the base the runner is going to before the runner gets there, the runner is out. If any fielding player manages to touch the runner with the ball while holding it in their hand, the runner is out.

When a player makes it around all bases and returns to the home base, the kicking team scores a run. The kicking team should aim to score as many runs as possible in an inning without getting out. If three of the kicking team’s players get out, the teams switch positions. Once both teams have had a turn in the field and at the plate, the inning ends. Whichever team has the most points at the end of the game, wins the game.
