Objective: The HIT portion of the program will test a competitor's ability to hit from a stationary batting tee, along a tape measure from home plate, toward straight-away centerfield. Hits will be measured for distance and accuracy.

Procedure:

  • Each competitor will be allowed three (3) swings in an attempt to hit the ball.
  • Only the best of the three (3) attempts, as determined by the administrator, will count toward a competitor's score.
  • A swing and a miss counts as one attempt (one swing = one attempt).
  • A running or walking start is not permitted. Participant may take a single stride step, but cannot take multiple steps in attempt to hit the ball from a walking or running start.
  • All participants in the baseball division compete with a standard baseball.
