Softball is a team sport that is similar to baseball. The game was first introduced in 1887 in Chicago. The major differences from baseball are that it involves a larger, softer ball and the pitches are thrown underhand rather than overhand. The game is played between two teams, and the goal is to hit pitched balls with a bat in an attempt to score runs. The game has an umpire who calls the pitches and officiates the game.
Today, softball is a popular sport for people of all ages and ability levels. The sport is predominantly played by women at the children's league and school levels. But it is common to have women's, men's, and co-ed teams in adult leagues. Advanced women's teams are common as the university and Olympic levels. Softball is also frequently played by business professionals in work leagues. This is mostly because it is a non-contact sport that can be co-ed.
Playing softball involves running, throwing, and swinging a bat. It requires strength, speed and hand-eye coordination to be successful. Playing softball can be fun and lead to better health. Proper training and conditioning can greatly improve your skills and make your team more competitive.
