What is Speed Ball?

Speed Ball is a fast-paced, fun baseball format designed to maximize player involvement, athleticism, and game action. Each field will have 3 teams of 5-6 players. Teams will rotate between outfield, infield and batting. Players will get plenty of opportunities to hit, run, field, and compete while enjoying a unique twist on traditional baseball. Score is kept and we see who comes out on top in the end! Games are 90 minutes long and lots of fast paced fun!
