Senior's Winter Softball
Panama City Beach is hosting a Slow-pitch non-competitive softball for local & winter guest seniors, male or female, age 55+
Slow-pitch softball is the most common type of softball. The ball, which can measure either 11 or 12 inches in circumference, must arch on its path to the batter, and there are 10 players on the field at once.
Softball rules vary somewhat from those of baseball. Two major differences are that the ball must be pitched underhand and that seven innings instead of nine consecutive regulation game.
Despite the name, the ball used in softball is not very soft. It is about 12 in in circumference, which are 3 inches larger than a baseball. The infield in softball is smaller than on regular baseball; each base is 60 ft. from the next, as opposed to baseball's 90 ft. Also the infield in fast pitch softball does not have grass verses baseball at any level that does have grass.
