How to Play

Trikeball follows the basic rules of a baseball game – with a few modifications to accommodate players and their trikes. Your group, divided into two teams, competes with one another for hits, runs, and points – just like in a real baseball game! All players are riding tricycles, fielders have a stickmitt in place of a glove. Stickmitts are used for retrieving the ball from the floor and tagging out a Base Runner. There are round discs on all four corners of the batting trikes for tagging out a Base Runner. The ball can also be caught with the stickmitt or by hand. The ball must always be thrown by hand. 

There are two sets of bases. The Red bases are the target for the base runners and the Gray bases are the target for the fielders.

​

All players must remain seated in the Dugouts until their turn to bat.

No purposeful trike bumping.

The Pitcher, Umpire, or Floor Guards may pause the game at any time, usually for safety reasons.

No one is allowed on the playing field during the game including Umpires and Floor Guards.

No base stealing. At least one of the three Trike wheels must remain on base.

When the fielding team comes in to bat, players return the Trikes to the fielding positions for the opposing team – first base, second base etc. and remain seated until the whistle to be blown.

The Batter gets 5 strikes before striking out. “Ball Calls” do not count. In other words, the Batter can not be walked by the Pitcher. The Pitcher always intends to pitch viable balls so that the players can play the game. We also offer Tee-ball instead of the ball being pitched.

An inning ends after 3 outs or 15 minutes, whichever comes first.

The weight limit for the Trikes is 180 lbs.
