Softball Game History
The name “Softball” dates back to 1926. The name was coined by Walter Hakanson of the YMCA at a meeting of the National Recreation Congress (In addition to ‘indoor baseball” name for the game included, “kitten ball”, “diamond ball”, “mush ball” and “pumpkin ball”. The game softball had spread across the United States by 1930. By the 1930s, similar sports with different rules and name were being played all over the United States and Canada.

By 1936 the Joint Rules Committee on Softball has standardized the rules and naming throughout the United States. The first British women’s softball league was established in 1953. The 1996 Olympic also marked a key era in the introduction of technology in softball. The 10C funded a land mark biomechanical study on pitching during the games.

The Game:

  • There are 9 players in a softball team.
  • The playing field is divided into the infield and outfield.
  • The lines between the base are 60′ apart and when joined they form a diamond, inside the baseline is known as the infield.
  • Outside the baseline but inside the playing field is called the outfield.

Any ball going outside the 1st or 3rd base line is a foul ball (runners cannot advance and the batter gets another try unless the ball was caught in the air, which translates to an out) A official game is 7 innings (an inning is when both teams have had their turn to bat).
The visiting team bats in the first half of half of each inning, called the “top of the inning”, the home team bats in the second half of each inning, called the “bottom of the inning”. There is no set time that an inning lasts; each half of the inning continues until the defence accumulates three outs, if the game is tied after the last inning, the game goes into “extra inning”, and continues until one team holds a lead at the end of an inning.

Softball Game Key Rules
1. The pitcher’s delivery is made underarm and must begin with both feet in contact with the pitching rubber and the ball held with both hands in front of the body. The pitch itself begins when one hand is taken off the ball.

2. A pivot foot is used to maintain contact with the rubber or to push off from it for a delivery to be legal, the ball must be pitched into the strike zone. This is the space over any part of the home plate no higher than the home plate, no higher than the batters arm pit and no lower than his knee when he assumes his natural batting stance. If the ball deviates from the strike zone it is aro-ball (called a “ball”.)

3. A batter has three chances to strike the ball. He becomes a batter-runner as soon as he hits a fair ball, a legally batted ball. The ball must keep within the angle between first and third base (fair territory). It may pass out of the playing field and up to the outfield fence as long as it remains with this angle. The batter may also run after four balls.

4. The other runners in the field may advance to their next base as soon as the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand and while it continues to be in play, they must return to the base they legally occupied at the time the ball was pitched if the ball is caught, if it is batted illegally or if interference occurs on either side.

5. There are several ways in which a batter can be out. He is caught out if a fielder catches the ball after it has been struck and before it touches the ground (a fly ball). He is run out if the ball reaches the base he is running towards before he gets there. (The fielder receiving the ball must have at least one foot on the base.)

6. A strike occurs when the ball is pitched into the strike zone but the batter does not attempt to hit it or does make the attempt and misses. A player is allowed three after which he is out. A player is also out if he is touched with the ball before he touches first base, or while off any base during a live ball, he is touched with the ball.

7. Runners are declared out if they are touched with the ball in the hand of a fielder while they are not in contact with a base, if they deviate too much from the direct line between base in order to avoid being touched by a fielder in possession of the ball, if they overtake the runner in front of them, if they are hit by a fair ball or if the ball reaches the fielder at the base ahead of them before they do, i.e. run out. A ‘force out’ to advance due to the batter becoming a runner.

8. Violations by a player, any from of unsportsman-like conduct,are penalized with removal of the offender from the game.

Outfielders (CF, RF, and LF):
Positioned beyond the infield, they catch and field “fly balls,’’ line drive, and ground balls hit into the outfield.

Rover (or Buck short):
Plays 10-20 feet outside the infield on the “Pull” side of the hitter, for example, a deep short stop for a right handed batter.

Second Basemen (2B):
Plays in the gap between the bag at second and the first baseman. Receives throws from fielders attempting to make outs at 2nd base and field ‘ ‘grounders” and “pop ups” hit to this side of the infield.

Short stop (SS):
Fields the balls hit to the infield between second and third base. She or he covers second base (along with second baseman) and is often involved in force plays and “double plays” with the second baseman.

Pitcher (P):
Throws the softball from the center of the diamond (pitcher’s mound) to the catcher. The pitcher uses an underarm motion to pitch the ball toward the “strike zone.” After making a pitch, the pitcher gets ready to field balls hit up the middle.

Third Basemen (3B):
Plays to the left of third base and covers any plays there. Receives throws from other fielders attempting to make outs at 3rd base.

First Basemen (B):

PSEB 12th Class Physical Education Practical Softball

Catcher (C):
Plays in a semi- crouched position behind home plate and receives pitches thrown by the pitcher. Also receives throw from fielders attempting to make outs at home plate.

Scoring Runs:
A “run” is scored when a player has touched all four bases in order, proceeding counterclockwise around them. They need not be touched on the same play; a batter may remain safely on a base while play proceeds and attempt to advance on a later play. A run is not scored if the last out is a force out or occurs during the same play that the runner crosses home plate. For instance, if a runner is on third base prior to a hit, and he or she crosses home plate after an out is made, either on the batter or another runner, the run is not counted.

Ending The Game:
The team with the most runs after seven innings wins the game. The last (bottom) half of the seventh inning or any remaining part of the seventh inning is not played if the team batting second is leading. If the game is tied, play usually continues until a decision is reached, by using the international tie-breaker rule or if time is expired the score would be just tied. Starting in the top of the last inning, the batting team starts with a base-runner on second base, which is the player who is the last available to bat (in other words, the batter who last took their position m the batter’s box; regardless whether they were the last out or another runner was put out).

PSEB 12th Class Physical Education Practical Lawn Tennis

Fundamentals:
1. Holding of Racket:
Adjusting the grip you take on a tennis racket is a way of altering the angle of the racket face as it meets the ball. Most of the time, as you trade forehands from the back of the court, you will have your own standard grip based on your strengths and weaknesses. This should change to a different, flatter grip for serves, volleys, smashes and slices. Both grips can be reversed to play backhands, while the two-handed backhand has a grip of its own.
PSEB 12th Class Physical Education Practical Lawn Tennis 4
A good way to understand different grips in detail is to move your hand around the handle of the racket in a clockwise motion. Left-handers should move the same distance anti-clockwise in all cases. Imagine that the top of the handle (i.e. the narrow side, looking down on the edge of the frame) is 12 o’clock. The racket is held so that the heel of the hand rests on the leather strip which circles the end of the handle. Then the fingers are wrapped wholly around the handle so that the middle finger locks with the thumb.

2. Eastern Forehand:
Move your hand clockwise around the racket, so that the thumb-finger V is somewhere between 12 and one o’clock. This is an eastern grip, which is similar to w’hat you would get by “shaking hands” with the racket in a very relaxed way. This allows for a small amount of racket acceleration up the back of the ball, which will spin it slightly, keeping the ball relatively flat.

3. Semi-Western:
If you move your hand further round, the wrist comes into play, and it puts the racket into a much deeper position, which allows you to hit up the back of the ball a lot more and generate more spin. If the V is between two and three o’clock, you’re using a semi-western forehand. Somewhere around here is the ideal grip for the modem game, where you’re trying to generate both spin and weight of shot through the ball.

4. Full Western:
With the V anywhere beyond three o’clock, you’d be playing a full western fore hand , which is what a lot of the clay-court Spanish players use. In fact, they twist their grip so far that they actually hit the ball with the opposite face of the racket, which generates an awful lot of racket speed and lines up the strings, so they can spin the ball in a steep low-to-high movement.

5. Eastern Backhand:
To change your grip from a forehand to a one – handed backhand, use the clock principle, starting again from the continental grip but this time moving the same amounts anti-clockwise, depending on how much spin you wish to impart. In practice, most one-handed players stick with a roughly eastern backhand.

6. Two-handed Backhand:
Using a two-handed backhand is a bit like playing a forehand with your wrong hand, so for right-handed players, the left hand does all the work and the right is there solely for support. There are three or four different grips you can use, but a standard two-handed backhand would position the right hand in a neutral continental grip, while the left hand would adopt an eastern forehand grip higher up the racket handle.
PSEB 12th Class Physical Education Practical Lawn Tennis 6
7. The Serve:
Player should stand side wise behind the base line. First, the ball is tossed upward and the stroke begun by swinging the racket downward through an arc, past the right knee, backward and upward behind the head in such a manner as to make contact with the falling ball, in accordance with the type or style of serve planned upon.
PSEB 12th Class Physical Education Practical Lawn Tennis 5

8. Continental Serve:
The basic, neutral grip, known as a continental grip, is formed by placing your hand on the racket so that the V formed by your thumb and forefinger are at toughly 11 o’clock. This is the flat grip you would use to serve, volley or smash. You can also use it to slice a delicate drop shot from the back of the court, as it allows you to hit down on the ball, punching through it to impart backspin.

9. The Forehand Drive:
With the estimate of the place where the ball might bounce, the player stands little bit behind that spot and making pivot of the body, with slightly back swing, he brings the racket forward and hits the ball. The ball is hit when it comes parallel to his knees and waist. Then he comes in the same position after follow through.

10. The Backhand Drive:
The player holds the racket in between. As soon as tire ball approaches him, he turns his shoulders towards the net making pivot of his body, he brings forward the racket from his backside. From full back swing to forward action he strikes the ball with extended arm with follow through.

11. Volley:
A volley is a stroke that meets the ball while it is in flight and before it strikes the ground, usually from a position at the net.

12. Lob: A lob is a variation of the forehand or backhand made with a lifting effect, usually used prolong the flight of the ball.

13. Smash: A smash is a variation of the forehand or backhand with a driving downward effect used in general to return a lob.

14. Drive: A drive is a stroke made with the maximum of speed and power, with due regard for accuracy.

15. Foot Work:
In general there will be almost constant movement of the feet in order to be in the logical place at the right time to receive or deliver the ball, depending upon offensive or defensive intent. Movement of the feet and the general quality of foot work should of course be light, agile and economical, and always regulated to make the stroking accurate and effective.

16. Body Action:
Body action and positions are varied under the same principles that apply to foot work. In general, the body position should be such that one is, whenever possible, sidewise to the net at the moment of stroking. The beginner seems disinclined to depart from the erect posture, whereas positions and movements where the body is extremely extended or sprawled out in wide movements are not unusual, except in one who has had long practice and experience and w’ho, as a result has a fine court sense that enables him to be in the right place at the right time.

17. Arm Action:
The stroking arm should remain supple at all times and mannered actions or positions at the shoulder, elbow and wrist should be avoided. Care should be exercised in the use of the free hand as a balancing agent that it does not fly about violently, thus having a contrary influence.

18. Eyes:
The eyes must remain on the ball at all times. To keep the eyes continuously on the ball is of primary’ importance. Most, if not all, of the errors in stroking will trace back to the fact that the ball was lost sight of at some critical point. Concentration on the spin of the ball will help to confirm the habit of watching the ball.

19. Stroking Effects:
Control of the ball is managed chiefly by the adjustment of the level of the face of the racket at the moment of contact with the ball.

20. Cuts:
The ball is usually met squarely with the face of the racket, but for particular effects or purposes, the racket may be angled as if to cut off the top, bottom or one side of the other of the ball.

21. Spin:
It is possible to cut the ball in a manner contrary to its angle of flight so as to cause the ball to spin, with the result that when it strikes the ground it will bounce off at more or less of an angle to the path flight.

22. Follow Through:
The follow through is very important and consists of continuing the stroke past and beyond the point of contact with the ball in a natural manner.
