Is 14 years old too late to start?? Because i feel like if I join a team I'll be so bad and everyone will already be really good 😕

I started playing softball when I was 9. I am now 47 and still play ball. I played fast pitch as a youth and both fast and slow pitch in my 20s and 30s. Eventually my fast pitch team disassembled in my 30s and since then I've only played co-ed slow pitch. What's very sad is seeing my skill deteriorate as I've aged. :( My brain still knows how to throw, catch, and bat, but my muscles just don't work the same. Very depressing because I love the game.

+sshelget I just turned 60 and play third base. Long ago I decided that since I couldn't keep my muscle mass, I would just maintain flexibility - and that's what's worked over the years. Hit 4/5 our last game, one hot grounder for a sweet double play, and scored three runs, and regularly get those line drives still at third even at my age. [I admit to one error, but that's okay...] I have several exercises that help quickness, concentration, and those leg muscles... Keep up your game if at all possible. It's a great pleasure at 60. I hope to play till 65, then quit with a big party for everybody on the team, and re-start chorus till near the end. I've always loved baseball of any kind.

@MissLouTxx 12 жыл бұрын

you throw it to wear the runner is heading. and in your position. if the runner is on 1st base then you have to touch your own base to get them out cos they are running to 2n base. if they had just hit the ball, you throw it to 1st base cos they are running there. if they are on your base when you catch the ball you can throw it to the 3rd base before they get there, or you can tag your own base before they reach 3rd base. they like to sneak so tagging your own base is easier. i play softball:)

this video just taught me softball like my school is stated a new semester of sport and if i chose to play than I would save the whole team so i was kind of pressured then my first training we were taught catching then the next practice was with everyone and the newbies new nothing but how to catch and that was useless cos we were only batting:-)

If you have a player on a base and batter hits the ball but its caught, does the player on the base have to run back to their base before they throw it to their base? Sounds confusing sorry.

@CoachGruber 9 жыл бұрын

Catch fly balls, field groudballs or line drives that make it through the infield, and are part of the offense. They are the last line of defense that keep runners from advancing too far. By far, the infield is where most of the action is, but the OF is very important.
