Frisbee Baseball!

 Baseball is upon us!

• Name of the Game: Frisbee Baseball

• Minimum Players: 4

• Minimum Age: 7

Set up a baseball diamond. You can use paper or frisbees or regular bases, cones, whatever you've got. Now with painter's tape, divide the field up. This game will scale to just about any large room, gym, outdoor area you may have. So divide up the field and have paper labels, for all the plays in baseball:

• Home Run!
• Triple
• Double
• Single
• Foul
• Strike
• Pop Fly Out
• Double Play
• Triple Play

These labels go into strategic locations. There should be a single for the least athletic kid to hit right in front of home plate, and the home run is right before the back wall, the wall being out, and the zone in front of the home run being a pop fly out. I always make ceilings and walls out. Save the building. 

Play is like a standard baseball, but you throw a frisbee. Where it lands you get that play. Single? Take first base. Double? Take second. If the frisbee lands on a line, it's the lesser score or the worst out. 

Scoring is same as regular game, 3 outs per team, switch sides, there are no fielders, just someone to return the frisbee to home plate for the next batter. Depending on the size of the teams, you should be able to go a couple innings in 20 minutes or so. If you have 4 players let them all be on the same team and just play pick up or against you. 

Equalizer:

Here's what happens to equalize the athletic from the inept: the throwers will go for the triples and home runs and usually get outs. The non confidents will put that frisbee on the safe single right in front of home plate. Sometimes a team will figure out to just go for all singles and rack up a score. In that case you may have to call a game. 

Over the top tips: 

Get some baseball sound clips.

Get a play by play commentator.

Seventh inning stretch.
