1. Each player of the team will go to their respective starting position. The ball is placed at
the middle of the center line.
2. The game will start after the whistle of the referee or the teacher. The center fielders
will try to get the ball as fast as they can.
3. The center fielder who gets the ball will pass the ball to his team’s field players. The
center fielders are not allowed to pass the ball directly to the goalee. They will be part of
the field players after they pass the ball.
4. Only the goalee is allowed inside the goal crease. The team will score if the goalee
catches the ball inside the goal crease.
5. The defender can block the ball only in the defender’s lane.
6. When a team scores, the ball will be given to the center fielder of the other team.

Mechanics and Rules of the Game
Violations
Team A
Team B
This game is composed of two teams the defensive and offensive team.
a. Ball
In kickball, we use soccer ball size 3 or 4 with circumference of 27 to 28 inches
(69 to 71 cm) and weight of 14 to 16 oz (400 to 450 grams).
b. Bases
1st, 2nd and 3rd Base : 18”x18” wooden or rubber plate
Picher’s Box and home base :18”x 24” pentagon wooden or rubber plate
c. Diamond field
A kickball playing area is contained within a 90-degree angle, and is usually
called a diamond field; because the central part of the playing field is called the infield
is diamond-shaped. The outfield extends outward from the infield to a boundary.
Meanwhile, the defensive team is trying to get runners and base runners OUT. As
soon as three players on the offensive team have made outs, the two teams switch: the
defensive team will now become the offensive team and vice versa. An inning is
completed when each team has finished running, and a full game consists of three
innings.
The pitcher pitches the ball to the runner from the pitcher’s box.
The catcher stands or squats behind home base.
The first baseman is often a busy position, as many balls will be thrown to first base in an attempt to
put runners out who are running from home to first base.
The second baseman will guard much of the right side of the infield.
The third base player guards the area near third base.
The short stop stands between second and third base or third and home base.
The fielders stand indefinite positions behind the bases or infields.
A strike out occurs if three strikes are called against the runner and the runner has not managed to hit
the ball into Fair Territory.
Tag Out
You have probably already grasped the point that fielders must tag out runners
who are not forced to run; simply standing on the base with the ball will not do. The
Defensive Team are allowed to tag the bases before the runners reach a certain base.
