Softball Ontario has a great program for you to try! The Try Softball Program is being made available to Ontario Elementary Schools for a loan period of one (1) month FREE OF CHARGE!
What is included in a Try Softball Kit?
A TRY SOFTBALL Kit consists of everything you will need to introduce your class to the game of softball. Each Kit contains the following:
- BlastBall Game
- Batting T
- BlastBalls
- BlastBase (that HONKS!)
- BlastBat
- Ruler
- Cone
- A BlastBall Manual
- A Learn to Play Manual - Yours to KEEP!
- FREE Gifts for all Participants!

To address any concerns, all of the equipment is manufactured using child-safe materials; the bat and ball are made of a soft foam material, removing safety concerns that are created by aluminum bats and hard balls. There are no equipment requirements for the students, as baseball gloves are not required to participate in the game.
What is BlastBall and Learn to Play?
BlastBall and Learn to Play are great programs designed to introduce the sport of softball to children. The programs foster the development of all players, including players with high and low skill levels. Activities and lead-up games are patterned after informal playground games that promise FUN and LOTS OF ACTION. The fantastic manuals are resources given to your school to keep as a thank-you for participating in our program.
