PROGRESSIVE WIFFLEBALL REVIEW SHEET
- Progressive wiffleball is a variation of regular wiffleball, which is similar to softball and baseball.
- Called PROGRESSIVE Wiffleball because the scoring is progressive, all players can score multiple points for the team and the points scored are added from day to day cumulating in ONE FINAL SCORE at the end of the week.
- An inning consists of each team having a turn to be up to bat and score as many points as possible for their team. Each at bat consists of ALL team members having a chance to hit, run and score points before there side of the inning ends.
- To SCORE points a player will HIT the ball off a TEE (cone) PLACE THE BAT INTO THE BASKET, and then run around the bases in proper order touching the TOP of each large cone to score points. Players will run as fast as possible to touch as many cones as possible within the time it takes the DEFENSE to complete the task of retrieving the ball and throwing it OVERHAND from player to player in the field and then BACK to the DESIGNATED PLAYER located on the STOP SPOT. Once the ball is in POSSESSION of the DP the team yells STOP to ending the scoring run of the hitter.
