Hoboken Public School District
Summer Fun & Fitness Series
Summer Middle School Co-Ed Kickball League
Registration for Hoboken Public Schools' first annual Middle School Summer Kickball League is now open! Click here to join.
This fun, co-ed league is for all skill levels. Before the game schedule begins, we will start off the season with a practice session to introduce all players to kickball. Teams will be announced and jersey’s will be distributed.
Location: High School Stadium
Cost: FREE!
Who can register? This league is open to all students entering grades 6 – 8 in September who reside in Hoboken.
What equipment/gear do kids need? Kickball actually does not require a lot of gear. Jerseys will be given out to all players.
What are the basics of the sport? Is it like baseball but with a kickball?
TEAMS: Teams on the field will be made up of 8-11 players. Teams are allowed to have more than 11 players and can switch off their players at any time during the game.
SCORING: Score by rounding the bases and reaching home plate.
FIELD AND PITCHING: The pitcher delivers the ball, and must do so with one foot in contact with the pitching rubber. The ball must be rolling or have bounced twice before reaching home plate to be counted as a fair pitch. If the ball passes through the strike zone and the kicker does not make contact, it counts as a strike. A ball that goes wide of the strike zone, is not rolling or did not bounce twice will count as a ball.
KICKING AND RUNNING: The kicker must run to first base after any ball that is kicked. Foul lines extend out from first and third base, and a ball must be inside these lines to be in play (otherwise, it is foul and a strike). If a ball clears the outfield wall for a home run, the kicker and all runners on base run the bases unopposed to home plate. One run is scored every time a runner reaches home.
OUTS: Each team gets three outs per inning. A kicker is out if three strikes are thrown, or if a ball is kicked foul on the third strike. In kickball rules, a kicker is out when the fielding team touches a base with a ball before the kicker arrives, or if he/she is hit with a thrown ball below the shoulders while running the bases. A kicked ball caught by a fielder before hitting the ground will also result in an out.
The goal of this league is to promote fitness and school spirit, while competing in a fun co-ed environment. Families are encouraged to come out and support players each night of competition. Afterward, all players and families will stay and have something to eat and participate in four powerful leadership sessions.
