Softball is truly an American Game. It is very similar to baseball and is played in South Florida middle schools instead of baseball. Most middle schools have both boys and girls teams. South Florida high schools have baseball for boys and softball for girls. Softball and baseball are unique team games in that it takes great individual skill to have a good team.

We will try to not have more than ten(10) on a team. We will play normal softball rules, however, there will be a six run rule in any one inning, except to catch up in last inning.

Baseball is the American pastime. Sometime during a youngsters education he or she should be taught how to bat, throw, field and run the bases. Softball in our physical education classes is a perfect time for this to take place. If a youngster never plays softball again we at Tequesta hope they will at least have some understanding of the game so that they can enjoy being a spectator.
