Play Ball: Learn the Rules of the Game

This giveaway is now closed with 136 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ judybrittle!

My son just went to his first baseball tryout yesterday. I'm a proud mom, but can admit that he still needs a lot of practice. Play Ball is a really neat game for kids. This game has really helped my son understand the rules of the game. He loves to play it and I love that it was created by a dad.

Here is some information about Play Ball from their website:

"Mr. Neubauer is an enthusiastic entrepreneur with a passion for baseball, children and music. Keith’s son Joshua is the inspiration for designing the game. Keith has managed softball teams where he is an avid player and helped coach Joshua’s teams in T-Ball and machine pitch. This is where he noticed the need for a way of helping teach these young players off the field. The young players had trouble with understanding how they should respond depending on their defensive position and where the ball was hit.

Play Ball the Board Game is a patent pending educational sports game created by Mr. Keith Neubauer to assist an experienced player in teaching an inexperienced player the basics of baseball. The game is designed for children ages four to seven. It is ideal for parents or grandparents or even older siblings (experienced in the game of baseball) and their children, brothers or sisters or grandchildren (inexperienced in the game of baseball) about America’s favorite pastime."


This game will really help out this season. My daughter will be starting up next year and I feel confident that she'll go in ahead of the game. Play Ball is an excellent learning tool for younger children interested in playing ball. It takes learning baseball to a new level. Even if you already know the rules of the game, it's just fun to play.

Play Ball would like to offer one lucky reader a Play Ball game and offer Free Shipping to anyone interested in purchasing a game for your children.
