Indoor Softball

Indoor Softball is played – as its name suggests – indoors, with soft ball (a softball is inspite of its name usually hard) and bases taped onto the floor. Innings are timed and it is one point for getting on base and one point for getting home, however, a team loses a point for an out. Home runs are scored when the ball hits the back wall and bounces back off the floor without being caught – this enables all players on base – as well as the hitter – to advance back to home plate.
