Blastball

Today was the official start of Blastball for Ryland. He looked so cute and sporty in his uniform complete with cleats, bat, and glove. He was very excited to hit the ball but told us he didn't need his glove. He was going to just bat.

All the boys line up a little behind the pitchers' mound and wait for the ball to be hit. Once the ball is hit past the fair line which is about 5 feet from home plate, the boys chase it down. Whoever grabs the ball first, holds it in the air and screams BLASTBALL!

After everyone gets a turn, the teams switch places. The boys take turns batting off the tee. If they hit it past the fair line, they run to first base. The base makes a honking noise when the kids jump on it. They then continue to run around the bases.

Ryland had a blast. He actually loved chasing after the ball and using his glove. He is looking forward to next weekend to play more Blastball.
