Parent questions
What is slap hitting?
Slapping is a softball skill where the hitter starts moving toward first base during the pitch and puts the ball on the ground. Timing the first step and the slap is the hard part, and this game trains it.
Is it free and safe for my child?
Yes. It’s free, it runs in a phone or computer browser, there’s no sign-up and nothing is shared. Scores stay on your device.
Why are there practice rounds?
The first time a player plays, they get 10 practice tries with hints to learn the buttons. After that, 5 warm-ups. Practice never counts toward the score.
Is this only for softball?
Yes. Slap hitting is a fastpitch softball skill.
