The outdoor modular sports floors are ideal for outdoor sports. The technical properties of these floors can make a positive contribution to practising various outdoor sports. This is also the case with Baseball5. A growing sport that is also supported by the KNBSB in the Netherlands. Although the sport requires little or no sports equipment, a good subfloor is a must.

Baseball5 offers an ideal platform to let outsiders get in touch with baseball and softball. The sport can be played at all kinds of locations, by everyone. Young and old, beginner or experienced, physical or disabled.

The fact that so few materials are needed to practise the sport makes it easy to fit into the current sports offer. Associations of other sports could also offer this sport at their accommodation to provide their members with extra facilities.

That’s why municipalities have to make choices in the sports on offer, but this development also offers great opportunities. After all, sports connects people. By offering a varied sports supply, young people will be more quickly motivated to take to the streets.

This street variation on baseball and softball brings a new dimension to your sports facilities. Without having to spend excessive amounts of money. A 21 x 21 metre field will suffice.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is Baseball5?

    Baseball5 is the street version of classic baseball and softball. It is a fast, young and dynamic game form that has the same basic principles as baseball and softball. Baseball5 is an accessible game form with the following 5 characteristics:

    • Simple rules.
    • Only a small rubber ball is needed.
    • It is suitable for every level and age.
    • It can be played everywhere: in the street, on a square, on a lawn, in a park or in a sports hall.
    • Short, fast and dynamic games with a high fun factor!

  • What are the rules of Baseball5?

    In Baseball5, you play with two teams against each other. A full turn is called an inning. If you are at bat, your task is to hit the ball into the field with your flat hand or a fist. The ball must be hit between the lines of the field and hit the ground at least 3 meters from home plate.

    You must then try to get past three bases until you reach home plate! If the ball gets to base before you do, you are out. The defending team can tap you with the ball if you are not on base.

    In the innings after you try to advance until you cross home plate. Then you have a point. If the defending side has struck out 3 people, your at bat is over. Now your team gets to defend the field. The inning is over when both sides have batted. And 5 of those innings are a full game. The team with the most runs.

  • What materials do you need to play the sport?

    Baseball5 requires almost no materials and that is what makes it so much fun! Unlike baseball or softball, no bat is used. The sport can also be played on all kinds of surfaces. In the Netherlands more and more Baseball5 fields are being built with a professional, sports-technical surface!
