Kickball
Kickball is a playground game, a distant relative of baseball. It is typically played on a softball diamond with a 10 to 16 inch (250 to 400 mm) inflated rubber ball. Other key differences with baseball type games include the pitcher bowling the ball towards the catcher, and the batter kicking the ball with his foot. In addition to tagging a base to get a forced runner out, fielders may throw the ball at a runner to get them out. Sometimes in pickup type games, a "pitcher's hand" rule may be used. When "pitcher's hand" is in effect, the batter may be out if the pitcher has the ball at the mound before the runner reaches base.
Since a good kicker will often connect with an oncoming ball, the dynamics and strategy considerations of kickball turn out somewhat differently from those of baseball, softball, or stub. You can help BambooWeb by .
