#
Step 1
Try gloves on. Avoid buying them through mail order unless you know exactly the model you want.
#
Step 2

Be prepared to pay between $50 and $150. Buying cheaper gloves is not recommended, as the quality is much lower and they’ll wear out quickly.
#
Step 3

Be prepared to buy more than one glove.
#
Step 4

Select gloves depending on the position you play. Infielders have smaller gloves, while those for outfielders are bigger.
#
Step 5

Buy a specialty glove for each position you play. A catcher’s mitt and pitcher’s glove (lighter weight with a solid ribbing in the back) round out the choices.
#
Step 6

Ask a knowledgeable salesperson, coach or other expert for help.
#
Step 7

Care for your glove properly. Make sure it’s oiled but not overly so.
#
Step 8

Follow the manufacturer’s directions for caring for your glove.

1.

Wear the correct safety equipment. This should include body pads, a face mask and a helmet. The catcher’s mitt is a different kind of glove, with more padding. You’ll need it as the balls come hurling in.
2.
Step 2

Squat behind home plate with your weight on the balls of your feet. Put your left foot slightly ahead of the right, then round your back and chin toward your chest. “Catchers need to be able to move laterally, quickly,” says Ray VanderMay, women’s softball coach at Seton Hall University.
3.
Step 3

Bring your glove up to catch the pitch, keeping your throwing hand in a fist behind the glove to avoid injury.
4.
Step 4

Set a target for the pitcher with your glove. You should be able to reach anywhere in the strike zone with your arm. If the ball is out of the strike zone, you’ll have to move to catch it.
5.
Step 5

Catch the ball when it is pitched. If you can’t catch it, at least block it. Any runners on base will be able advance while you are trying to get things under control.
6.
Step 6

Throw the ball back to the pitcher accurately – again to keep the base runners where they belong.
7.
Step 7

Watch for the batter’s weaknesses and let the pitcher know where to put the ball.
8.
Step 8

Throw off your mask when trying to catch a fly ball at home plate. You’ll be able to see the ball a lot better and avoid head injuries when it comes back to earth.
9.
Step 9

Cover home plate when someone is running in to score – catch the ball and tag the runner out. Hold on tight – players often slide into the catcher to try and dislodge the ball.

Turn the fingers of the glove up, in line with the throwing shoulder, if the ball is above your waist. Place your throwing hand to the side and behind the glove so that you can fish the ball out quickly and throw it into play.
#
Step 3

Catch a fly ball, ideally, on your throwing-hand side. Point your fingers toward the sky, with your palm facing the ball. Extend your arm, keeping it bent slightly with the elbow down. A common mistake when catching a fly ball is to lift the elbow.
#
Step 4

Turn the fingers of the glove down if the ball is below your waist. Place the glove in front of you, between your legs, with your throwing hand to the side and behind the glove. When the ball is cruising along the ground, catch it in front of you, not under you.
#
Step 5

Remember to bend your elbows when you put the glove out to meet the ball. This will absorb the impact so that it doesn’t hit the glove and bounce out.

Overhand

1. Step 1

   Know that the overhand throw is both easier and more accurate.

2. Step 2

   Grip the ball with your fingertips, using hardly any of your palm. Use either two or three fingers and your thumb to hold the ball, folding the others in toward your palm.

3. Step 3

   Turn your head toward your target.

4. Step 4

   Rotate your body sideways, extending your glove toward the target for balance.

5. Step 5

   Pull the ball back.

6. Step 6

   Throw – your arm goes up and out to your target, your wrist snapping just as the ball is released. Your thumb comes off the ball first, and then your fingertips do.

7. Step 7

   Follow through by moving your arm out and down across your body.

Sidearm

8. Step 1

   Use the sidearm throw if the distance of the throw is shorter or you don’t have time to straighten up before throwing. This is a much faster throw.

9. Step 2

   Place your weight on your rear foot, your upper body slightly rotated and flexed forward.

10. Step 3

    Bend the elbow of your throwing arm, keeping it higher than your wrist, and bring it back between your waist and shoulder.

11. Step 4

    Cock your wrist with the back of your hand facing up. As your weight transfers forward, your upper body rotates toward the side opposite your throwing arm.

12. Step 5

    Bring your arm around to your side – almost parallel to the ground.

13. Step 6

    Rotate your forearm, snap your wrist and release the ball with your arm following through.

#
Step 1

Start with a comfortable stance. Balance your weight on the balls of your feet. Keep your knees slightly flexed, with a slight bend at the waist.
#
Step 2

Hold the bat with your front elbow down and relaxed, and your back elbow at a 45-degree angle, pointed at the ground.
#
Step 3

Grasp the bat at a 45- to 90-degree angle with the middle knuckles of one hand aligned with the middle knuckles of the other hand.
#
Step 4

Keep your hands at the top of the strike zone, and near your back armpit. Make sure the bat is between the catcher and your back shoulder.
#
Step 5

Keep your head straight, with your eyes focused on the pitcher at the release point of the ball (the side of the pitcher’s leg, for example).
#
Step 6

Shift the weight onto your back foot as the pitcher goes into the windup.
#
Step 7

Take a stride forward with the front foot on the release of the pitch, being careful not to bring any weight forward on the stride. This is called a soft step.
#
Step 8

Start to pivot the back foot so that your back heel is facing the catcher, and transfer your weight forward to the middle of your body.
#
Step 9

Launch your hands last, with the knob of the bat going toward the pitcher’s feet.
#
Step 10

Be careful not to drop the barrel of the bat below your hands at the start of the swing.
#
Step 11

Hit the ball and drive it, following through with your hands swinging to the opposite shoulder.

Softball Rules #1: The Basic Game
The game

Slowpitch Softball is played by two teams of ten players each. The teams take it in turns to bat and field. The batting team is called the OFFENSIVE team and the fielding team is called the DEFENSIVE team.

Most Slowpitch Softball is played by mixed teams, where men and women play together in a 5:5 ratio. Slowpitch is sometimes played by single-sex teams as well.

The basics of Softball are very simple. A PITCHER pitches the ball to a BATTER who hits it and runs around as many bases as possible before the ball is retrieved and returned under control by the defensive team.

The aim of the game is to score more RUNS than the opposition and a run is scored when a player on the batting team advances around all three bases and back to the home base (called HOME PLATE) from whence he started. Unless you hit the ball so far that you can run around all the bases before it’s returned (a HOME RUN), you’ll probably have to stop at one or more bases on your way around and wait for the next batter to hit the ball so you can advance further.
Meanwhile, the defensive team is trying to get batters and base runners OUT. As soon as three players on the offensive team have made outs, the two teams switch: The defensive team comes in to bat and the batting team goes out to the field to defend. An inning is completed when each team has batted, and a full game consists of seven innings.

Players bat in a prearranged order (in mixed games men and women bat alternately). After the last batter in the order has hit, the first batter comes up again. If the final out in an inning is made by, say, the fourth batter in the order, then the fifth batter will be the first to hit when the team comes in to bat again. Batters keep their place in the batting order even if they were out last time they batted.
Softball Rules #2: The Playing Area

A Softball playing area is contained within a 90-degree angle, and is usually called a DIAMOND, because the central part of the playing field – the INFIELD – is diamond-shaped. The OUTFIELD extends outward from the infield to a boundary, either actual or notional. From above, the playing area looks like the illustration. A team in the field

The light green area is known as FAIR TERRITORY and is where most of the action takes place. The dark green area is called FOUL TERRITORY, where some action can take place. Everything beyond this is called DEAD BALL TERRITORY because if this ball goes into this area, all action stops. As a basic rule, the batter must hit the ball into fair territory.

You will often hear people referring to LEFT FIELD, CENTRE FIELD and RIGHT FIELD. These terms mean exactly what they say. Left field is that part of the outfield which is to the left as you look at the field diagram; centre field is the outfield area behind second base; and right field is the outfield area to the right on the diagram.

Play begins when the pitcher (1) standing on the PITCHER’S PLATE, tries to pitch the ball across HOME PLATE, a five-sided piece of heavy rubber, guarded by the batter, 50 feet away. Each BASE (First Base, Second Base and Third Base) is marked by a foam filled bag. For safety reasons, FIRST BASE often consists of a double sized base.

Softball Rules #3: The Defensive Team

The job of the defensive team, known as FIELDERS, is to catch or stop any balls hit, with the aim of preventing offensive players from advancing around the bases and scoring runs. Each fielder has specific duties and a specific number, used for score-keeping:
Infielders
Infielder

* PITCHER (1): The pitcher pitches the ball to the batter from the pitcher’s plate.
* CATCHER (2): The catcher kneels or squats behind home plate.
* FIRST BASE (3): This is often a busy position, as many balls will be thrown to first base in an attempt to put batters out who are running from home to first.
* SECOND BASE (4): The second base player will guard much of the right side of the infield.
* THIRD BASE (5): The third base player guards the area near third base.
* SHORT STOP (6): The short stop stands between second and third base and tries to stop or catch any ball hit towards left field.

Outfielders

Outfield positions are not quite so rigidly defined as infield positions. In general, however, the LEFT FIELDER (7) will play in left field. The LEFT CENTRE FIELDER (8) will play to the left of the centre field area. The RIGHT CENTRE FIELDER (9) will play to the right of the centre field area. The RIGHT FIELDER (10) will play in right field. The outfielder’s job is to catch or stop balls hit in their direction and return them quickly and accurately to the infield.
Pitching
Softball Rules #4: Pitching

In Slowpitch Softball, the ball is lobbed underarm and must have an arc which reaches at least six feet and no more than twelve feet from the ground. For a moment, let’s ignore the main object of the game, which is for the batter to hit the ball. Suppose he doesn’t? What happens then?

Strikes and Balls
Between 6 and 12 feet

A pitched ball will be described (by the umpire) as either a STRIKE or a BALL. Basically, a strike is a good pitch and a ball is a bad one.

A GOOD PITCH

* Must be pitched from the pitching plate.
* Must have an arc of between 6 and 12 feet from the ground.
* Must not, in the opinion of the umpire, be too fast.
* Must pass between the height of the batter’s knees and back shoulder as he stands at home plate in a normal batting stance.
* Must pass across some part of the Strike Zone.

Some definitions:
The strike zone

* THE STRIKE ZONE is an imaginary three-dimensional column of space corresponding to the shape of home plate. A ball passing through ANY part of this zone is called a strike.
* A STRIKE is a pitched ball which fulfils all of the above conditions. In all other cases, the pitch is a BALL, unless the batter swings at it.
* A STRIKE OUT occurs if three strikes are called against the batter and the batter hasn’t managed to hit the ball into Fair Territory.

A STRIKE is called if:

* a pitch is good and the batter fails to swing, or swings and misses, or swings and hits the ball into Foul Territory (without it being caught) or into Dead Ball Territory
* a pitch is bad (would be deemed a BALL) but the batter swings and misses it

A WALK occurs if:

* A pitcher pitches four BALLS – bad pitches which the batter makes no attempt to hit. In this case the batter will walk to first base.

Softball Rules #5: Batting

Hitting A right-handed batter will stand to the right side of home plate (from the pitcher’s point of view) and a left-handed batter to the left of home plate. Once a batter hits the ball into fair territory, he/she advances counter-clockwise around the bases. If and when you hit the ball into Fair Territory, you must run. You have no choice. You must drop the bat down and run as fast as possible to first base (and on to further bases if you think you can make them safely). Remember that you must touch every base with your foot as you run past it, and when you decide to stop at a base (apart from first base and home plate), you must stop on it, not run past it.
FAIR AND FOUL BALLS

A ball is considered to be FAIR if:

* it lands in the outfield (i.e. in Fair Territory), and then rolls foul.
* it is hit into Foul Territory, but then rolls into Fair Territory before it passes first or third base.
* it hits either first or third base, no matter where it goes afterwards!

A ball is considered to be FOUL if:

* it is hit into the infield (i.e. in Fair Territory) but then rolls foul before it passes first or third base.
* it is hit into Foul Territory outside the infield and then rolls into Fair Territory.

NOTE: A ball touched by a fielder standing in fair territory is FAIR, a ball touched by a fielder in foul territory is FOUL.
Softball Rules #6: Running the Bases

Once you’ve hit the ball you’re forced to run. If you are forced to run to a base, if any defensive player is holding the ball and touches that base with any part of his body, or the ball itself, before you get there, you are OUT. (we’ll explain when you’re forced to run and when you’re not in a moment).
As a base runner you are never safe until you are touching a base. If at any point you are touched with the ball (whether in or out of the glove) by a fielder and you are not safely in contact with a base, you are out. This is called a TAG.

Now we’ll look more closely at when base runners are forced to run and when they’re not, and what fielders have to do in these situations to put runners out:
Force Outs

A batter who hit’s the ball into fair territory is forced to run to first. Let’s suppose that you have made it to first base safely and now the next batter comes up to bat. Remember that you can only advance to second base or beyond if the next batter hits the ball or receives a walk.

However, if the next batter hits the ball into Fair Territory without it being caught in the air, you are forced to run towards second base because the batter-runner is coming to occupy first base and no more than one runner per base is allowed. In any situation where you as a base runner are forced to advance, the defensive team can put you out simply by throwing the ball to a player standing on the base to which you’re advancing. This is called a FORCE OUT (or Force Play). No tag is necessary, although the fielder can choose to tag you while you’re between bases if he wishes.
A force out on first

Let’s suppose that you’re a base runner on first and the next batter hits a ground ball to the short stop. You are forced to run to second, the batter-runner is forced to run to first, and the defensive team has a choice of two possible FORCE OUTS: you or the batter-runner. If they’re feeling ambitious and there are less than two outs, they can go for both of you. If they’re successful, this is called a DOUBLE PLAY. Typically, the short stop would throw the ball to the second base-player standing on second (that puts you out) and the second base-player would throw immediately on to first base. If the throw reaches the first base-player before the batter-runner reaches the base, they too would be out!

Force plays can apply at any base. For example, if there are base runners on all three base’s (this is called BASES LOADED), then all the runners are forced to run on the next hit that isn’t caught in the air, and the fielders could get a FORCE OUT at any base – including home plate.
Tag Outs

You have probably already grasped the point that fielders must TAG OUT runners who are not forced to run; simply standing on the base with the ball won’t do. Say you are the first batter in the inning and you hit a DOUBLE (a hit that allows you get to second base). When the next batter hits the ball and runs toward first, you don’t have to advance if you don’t want to, because no one is coming to occupy your base. if you do choose to head for third, you are UNFORCED and to put you out, a fielder must tag you with the ball in hand or glove before you reach your target base. in fact, you can turn around and run back to the base you came from if that seems a wiser choice; no one is coming to occupy that base and it’s still yours!
Catch Outs (ball is caught in the air)
An outfield catch

Suppose you’re on first base with less than two out and the next batter hits the ball in the air towards an outfielder (this is called a FLY BALL, or, if it’s hit on a low, hard trajectory, a LINE DRIVE). Well, as soon as the outfielder catches the ball before it hits the ground (and the laws of physics tell you this will happen within seconds), then the batter is out – at which point you’re no longer forced to run to second, since there’s no batter-runner coming to occupy first. The force is off.

Instead, you can choose whether to advance to second or not and so the defensive team can’t get you out with a Force Play. They can only get you out by tagging you with the ball: a TAG OUT or Tag Play. That’s why, if the ball is hit in the air towards a fielder when you’re a forced runner, you shouldn’t automatically take off for the next base, because the catch might be made and the force removed.

AND HERE’S THE KEY POINT: you cannot advance to the next base on a caught fly ball unless your foot is in contact with the base you’re already occupying when the catch is made, or afterwards. This is called TAGGING UP. You must tag up before you can advance after a caught fly ball. Why? it’s a rule!
Sliding

Remember that we said you can overrun first base (or home), but not second and third, where you can be tagged out if you’re not in contact with the base. But running hard and then stopping dead on a small base isn’t easy! One way to do this is to slide the last few feet into the base along the ground, so that you come to rest on or in contact with the base with minimal loss of momentum. Another reason to slide is that you will present a smaller and more difficult target for the defensive player who might be waiting to tag you.

We can’t wait for everyone to experience the week long party that comes with the 5,000 players and fans at the NAGAAA 2010 Gay Softball World Series to be held August 13-21. It’s hard to describe the immensity of the event, but we can promise you that it’s going to be huge for the city and guaranteed to be fun for everyone.
BUT, we can’t pull off this big party without your help! We hope to harness the energy and pride from June to help us show visitors from across the US and Canada what Columbus has to offer.

Here is one way you can be a part of the excitement: Volunteer!
There are 1,200 3-4 hour shifts that need to be filled throughout the week of the world series, August 13-21. Shifts are various times during the days from morning to night and cover a wide range of opportunities. See all the shifts that are currently available and register on the 2010 GSWS Volunteer website at: http://ow.ly/24TKF

While we would love for you to take multiple shifts, covering just one shift will help us tremendously. Contact your friends and schedule to work your shifts together! Sign-up early to be sure to get the opportunity that you want. Please e-mail 2010volunteer@clgsa.net if you have questions about volunteer opportunities.

Get all the details about the NAGAAA World Series here: http://www.gaysoftballworldseries.com
