Are you looking for a fun and different way to teach fundamental movement skills like throwing, catching, hitting, and running, while encouraging physical activity and physical fitness? Softball Ontario has a great program for you to try! The Try Softball Program is being made available to Ontario Elementary Schools FREE OF CHARGE! Participating schools will receive a Try Softball Kit for a loan period of one (1) month.
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:
- A BlastBall Game
- A BlastBall Manual
- A Learn to Play Manual
- Pencils and Activity Books for your Students
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.
Try Softball in September and October!
Softball is ideal for Back to School! As the Try Softball Program can be used both indoors and outdoors, your class can play regardless of the weather. All Teachers who request a Try Softball Kit for September or October will be entered in a draw to win a free T-Shirt!
