Softball is a very fun sport to play. I have played softball my whole life. I have learned a lot over the years and I have practiced and played many times. I currently play for the Ardmore school team and a travel ball team. Softball has brought me out of my shy stages and brought me to life. First, a softball field is shaped like a diamond, and there is an infield and a outfield. When playing outfield you are on grass and while playing infield you are on dirt. On the field there are four bases, first base, which is towards the right, second base, which is in the middle, third base, which is to the left, and home plate which is at the bottom and is vertical to second base.

To even try to get on first base you have to hit the ball. If the pitcher hits you, you get to go to first. If the pitcher throws three good pitches that the umpire calls “strikes” and you don't it them, then you are out. If the pitcher throws four bad pitches that the umpire calls “balls” before you hit the ball then you get to go to first. Softball is just a fun thinking game. Base running is very fun to me because you can steal bases. What that means is when the pitcher lets go of the ball you can go to the next base if you want, but if the catcher gets the ball and throws it to the person at the base you are running to and they get the ball and tag you then you are out. Sliding can help you try to be “safe” because you can try to get under the person trying to tag you. Baserunning and hitting scores runs. When a person gets to home plate safely then you score a point. Playing good defense and not letting balls go by, and getting outs without letting the other team score is how you win a game easier, but you have to hit to score your team points. Softball is a fun sport, and is fairly easy to learn if you have good coaches. I love softball and my great coaches got me to where i am today. Softball is my sport, my game, and my
