How to Play

How to play when on offense

  • When the pitcher pitches the ball the kicker will try to kick it.
  • If the kicker kicks the ball he should try to advance to first base, or if the kicker wishes he can advance to second, third, or home plate.  
  • The next kicker will come up and try to do the same thing.

How to play when on defense

  • When the pitcher pitches the ball, the kicker tries to successfully kick the ball beyond the boarder of the field. Then the defensive players try to catch the ball.
  • If the defensive players catch the ball then the kicker is out.
  • If the defensive player doesn't catch the ball, he should pick it up. Then the defensive player will try to throw the ball to the place that the runner is running to.
  • If the defensive player at one of the bases successfully catches a ball thrown by another player on his team, and he catches it before the runner gets to the base, then the runner is out.
