Kickball games

Correct safe-lane use on a close first-base play earns 1 extra runner point.

• Correct safe-lane use on a close first-base play earns 1 extra runner point.
• Use the separated runner/fielder targets from First-Base Safety Lane. Host marks a close play only when both arrivals require a timing call; an unobstructed correct runner-lane finish earns 1 extra point regardless of safe/out. At most once per rep; no crowding is tolerated. Keep this bonus separate from that drill’s ordinary lane-use 1. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Safety Base Bonus as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Safety Base Bonus; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Direct thrown-ball head or neck contact immediately kills play, awards no defensive out, and places runners by one exact safe-base rule.

• Setup: Before a three-inning house game, announce the direct head/neck rule, near-miss warning, runner placement, repeat-thrower consequence, and concussion/substitute protocol.
• Direct thrown-ball head/neck contact: STOP and dead ball; the contacted runner is safe at the base they were approaching, other runners return to the last base unless forced, and the runner team receives 1 safety point maximum for the play.
• A near miss is dead ball with 0 points; runners return to the last base and the thrower is warned. A repeat unsafe thrower sits the inning.
• Suspected concussion means immediate removal and no same-day return; a safe substitute enters at the affected runner's last occupied base, or the game ends no contest when no substitute is available.

A called fair bunt-zone placement earns 2 instead of the ordinary bunt placement point.

• A called fair bunt-zone placement earns 2 instead of the ordinary bunt placement point.
• Use Bunt and Sprint Kickball’s 3 m-deep split zone. Call left/right before the roll; a qualifying fair bunt settling or first fielded wholly in the called corner earns 2 placement points when the kicker safely reaches first, replacing base bunt 1. A later legal run still earns 2. This replaces the separate final-corner bonus rather than stacking with it. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Called Bunt Zone as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Called Bunt Zone; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Use one announced reference instant and destination for every overthrow call.

• Use one announced reference instant and destination for every overthrow call.
• Use Overthrow One-Base Challenge’s dead-ball teaching award: freeze when a throw enters foul; allow one base beyond the base then occupied or approached, not two beyond the last occupied base. Correct independent destination calls earn defense 1 per shown scenario; this is not another point on top of that activity’s same correct-call award. Walk after STOP; do not chase or manufacture unsafe throws. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score One-Base Overthrow as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after One-Base Overthrow; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A timely legal coach signal followed to a safe base earns 1 coach point.

• A timely legal coach signal followed to a safe base earns 1 coach point.
• Assign one coach outside the path and a distinct destination. Call GO before the runner leaves; the runner must arrive safely without physical assistance for the coach’s extra 1. HOLD earns no advance bonus. Rotate the same coaching opportunities; emergency calls stay unrestricted. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Base Coach Point as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Base Coach Point; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Only controlled force outs earn the declared defensive bonus during a matching inning.

• Only controlled force outs earn the declared defensive bonus during a matching inning.
• In a three-out run game, declare 1 extra defensive point per controlled force before the game. A force exists only when the kicker becoming a runner displaces an unbroken occupied chain; control plus forced-base touch must beat that runner. Ordinary safe held-ball tag outs and caught-kick outs still count as outs but earn no force bonus. Apply to both halves of one named inning. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Force Play Focus as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Force Play Focus; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Correct tagging and a safe next-base advance earn 1; an early leave gives defense 1.

• Correct tagging and a safe next-base advance earn 1; an early leave gives defense 1.
• Use Fly-Ball Tag-Up Race’s isolated drill and later fully-controlled-catch cue. Stay on or retouch the starting base until control, then advance to the separate target. A drop is a reset. This is its base tag-up/early-leave award once, not another 1 added to the same event; the ordinary full-game first-touch rule remains separate. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Tag-Up Bonus as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Tag-Up Bonus; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A cutoff retaining control and stopping an unready relay earns 1 recognition point.

• A cutoff retaining control and stopping an unready relay earns 1 recognition point.
• Use the single unscored readiness rehearsal in Kickball Cutoff Call. Show an unready receiver while stopped; the cutoff holds and signals STOP instead of throwing. Give everyone one equal scenario, maximum 1. Never intentionally place anyone at risk to earn the point; a live hazard always stops play. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Cutoff Hero as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Cutoff Hero; stop at the agreed finish condition.

The third foul ends the at-bat and earns defense 1 challenge point.

• The third foul ends the at-bat and earns defense 1 challenge point.
• Use Two-Foul Pressure Kick’s visible separate foul and strike counts. Announce counts before each roll; a foul adds only to fouls, not strikes. A fair ball ends the at-bat; legal misses/taken rolls add strikes and three strikes also end it. The defensive 1 is that activity’s existing out award, not a second point. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available.
• Score Two-Foul Pressure as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Two-Foul Pressure; stop at the agreed finish condition.

The named final kicker’s legal run is 2; a clean out of that kicker earns defense 1 extra.

• The named final kicker’s legal run is 2; a clean out of that kicker earns defense 1 extra.
• Use Last-Kicker Rally’s finite final-play end. A normal run is 1, so final-kicker 2 replaces it rather than adding 2. Defense earns 1 extra only for a legal clean out of that final kicker; ordinary outs have no base scoring point in that host format. Apply the same allowance in both halves and keep the run cap. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Last Kicker Double as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Last Kicker Double; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Call inside, middle or outside before a legal roll; the called strip earns 1.

• Call inside, middle or outside before a legal roll; the called strip earns 1.
• Use Pitcher Roll Target’s marked three-strip corridor and low legal roll demonstration. The ball center must cross the called strip at home; a strip boundary or wrong strip earns 0 in this call mode. Use five rolls each and compare separately from the ordinary uncalled corridor mode; never double-award the same 1. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Pitch Target Call as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Pitch Target Call; stop at the agreed finish condition.

• Use only a wide clear lane and stand-up finish; a safe completed finish earns 1 bonus.
• Apply once per runner rep in First-Base Safety Lane or Home-Plate Run Race, after confirming separate receiver/runout targets. A correct safe stand-up target touch earns 1 extra, regardless of a lost timing race; no slide or contact can qualify. Stop and reset crowding immediately. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score No Sliding Rule as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after No Sliding Rule; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Finish one complete willing-player order before repeats; a clean order earns 2.

• Finish one complete willing-player order before repeats; a clean order earns 2.
• Post the eligible willing order and record passes before the half. Complete it without an order error for 2 team points, once per half; a half ending early earns 0. In Kick Order Captain this replaces its ordinary order bonus 1, rather than stacking. Nobody must kick through discomfort to preserve a bonus. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Everyone Kicks as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Everyone Kicks; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A correct unforced HOLD called before destination receipt earns 1 coach point.

• A correct unforced HOLD called before destination receipt earns 1 coach point.
• Use Runner Hold-or-Go’s shown scenarios. The third-base runner can hold without a force; the runner on first must go when forced unless a safety STOP applies. Award 1 for a correct unforced HOLD or necessary safety STOP, once per shown scenario and without requiring an unsafe act. It is the base correct-decision point, not an added duplicate. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Runner Hold Call as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Runner Hold Call; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A controlled called catch earns 2 total; a silent valid catch can still make an ordinary out.

• A controlled called catch earns 2 total; a silent valid catch can still make an ordinary out.
• Use one assigned catcher and one yielding backup. A timely agreed mine/yours spoken or visible signal plus controlled catch earns 2 instead of an ordinary catch point 1; never multiply Outfield Safe Catch Chase’s existing 2 into 4. A silent catch receives no voice bonus but does not erase a valid ordinary caught-kick out in a game. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Outfield Voice as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Outfield Voice; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A legal gentle waist-down held-ball tag or qualified target touch can earn 1 extra.

• A legal gentle waist-down held-ball tag or qualified target touch can earn 1 extra.
• Use the named host: an ordinary game requires an actual force for a base-touch out; No-Head-Throw Tag Round and Rundown Escape Lane instead declare separate house timing targets. Award the receiving defender 1 extra for the specified legal stop, once per rep. No ball is thrown at a person. Unsafe tags stop and void the rep; never count a high throw as an out. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Low Tag Only as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Low Tag Only; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Stop at the posted cap; the kicking side earns 1 compliance point per capped half.

• Stop at the posted cap; the kicking side earns 1 compliance point per capped half.
• Use Mercy-Run Reset, posting the same cap for both matching halves. When the cap is reached, end scoring immediately and award that kicking side 1 compliance point for a safe stopped reset, once. A half ending below cap earns no compliance point; its defense may still receive that activity’s separate under-cap reset 1. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Mercy Run Cap as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Mercy Run Cap; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A fair kick through the called opposite-line strip earns 2 placement points.

• A fair kick through the called opposite-line strip earns 2 placement points.
• Use Foul-Line Finder’s 1 m fair strips. Kicker states the intended opposite line before the roll; the host confirms the chosen left/right strip. Called strip earns 2, another fair kick 1, foul/miss 0; these replace that drill’s same placement values and are not added again. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Opposite-Line Kick as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.

A controlled relay followed by a legal low held-ball tag earns 2 defensive points.

• A controlled relay followed by a legal low held-ball tag earns 2 defensive points.
• Use Rundown Escape Lane with separated throw and run paths. At least one completed controlled pass must precede the gentle waist-down held-ball tag; this 2 replaces its ordinary defensive 1 for that rep. A house target touch can still earn base 1 but no relay-tag 2. Stop whenever safe spacing is lost; nobody is chased into a throw. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Relay Before Tag as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Relay Before Tag; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Each captain gets one spent-on-use discretionary challenge; a correct correction earns 1.

• Each captain gets one spent-on-use discretionary challenge; a correct correction earns 1.
• Use Captain’s Challenge Call’s STOP-before-next-pitch procedure and shown rules. Incorrect or unsupported requests earn 0 and still spend the token; a supported ruling correction earns 1 once. Immediate safety stops are unlimited and separate, and this modifier never grants a second challenge token. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Coach Challenge as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after Coach Challenge; stop at the agreed finish condition.

A fair kick with observed legal plant foot earns 1 bonus.

• A fair kick with observed legal plant foot earns 1 bonus.
• Mark the plant-foot line and box as in Kicker Box Precision. Host stands clear and observes no foot crossing and some foot within the box at contact. In a run game add 1 placement point once per fair legal kick; in Kicker Box Precision this is already its ordinary qualifying point, so do not duplicate it. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Kicking Box Bonus as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.

A fair kick of the first legal roll earns 1 placement point.

• A fair kick of the first legal roll earns 1 placement point.
• Use the shown low corridor and box rule. A wild or unsafe roll never consumes the first legal chance; correct and replace it. One fair kick on that first legal roll adds 1 to a run game’s placement ledger; a miss/take/foul earns no bonus, using the host’s stated at-bat consequences. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score First Pitch Swing as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.
• Reset and rotate evenly after First Pitch Swing; stop at the agreed finish condition.

Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
• Score Defense Shift Call as 1 challenge point, separate from the main score.

• Crowding causes an immediate stop and safe reset; clearing the cause earns at most 1 recognition point.
• Dead ball first: return runners to their last safely occupied bases without an out or running point. Host identifies the cause and confirms the path clear before GO. A side making the required correction receives 1 recognition point at most once per game, never for creating or repeating crowding. Keep this recognition separate from runs and give no unsafe-play scoring award. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

Three consecutive legal low corridor rolls earn 1 streak point.

• Three consecutive legal low corridor rolls earn 1 streak point.
• Use Pitcher Roll Target’s five-roll turn and legal corridor/bounce demonstration.

• Apply in a named inning of a run game to both sides. Assign an accessible agreed GO/HOLD signal outside paths.

Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

• Mark a 2 m gate at a shared shallow-infield distance, leaving every person clear. Judge the ball’s first passage on the ground through it; an airborne crossing or foul earns 0.

• Show every real or recorded runner before the pitch; correct tracking earns 1 per half.
• In a small-side run game, record each occupied base and runner identity visibly when a player must return to kick.

Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.

• After STOP the host applies the shown fair/foul, timing or force rule. If the group agrees one explanation was accurate and respectful, credit its speaker 1 recognition point, at most once per person per game. This does not buy a changed ruling, erase an out or spend a safety stop; unresolvable observations retain the announced call without a bonus. Use a clear diamond, soft kickball, no head throws, no sliding into people, no metal cleats, and a safety base or wide first-base lane when available. Scored results are tracked as challenge points.
