What is Blast Ball?

Blast Ball is a loose adaptation of Tball. Offensive players get a chance to hit the ball off a tee and run to first base before the ball is fielded and thrown to first base. If the offensive player makes it to first base, the base will sound a horn. The offensive player will then return to the bench and the next batter will hit. After batting through the order, the teams will switch position. No score is kept and the games usually last about 45 minutes (or until everyone is tired of playing)
