Softball Ontario is excited to present B5!

B5 is a new five-on-five, five-inning version of the game of Softball that can be played anywhere. B5 aims to increase the accessibility of Softball through a basic version of the game while still maintaining the uniqueness of the game of Softball.

B5 is designed to be:

Inclusive and accessible – no bats, gloves, or large fields required
Engaging for all students – adaptable for different skill levels and class sizes
Easy to implement – equipment fits in a small kit and can be used in gyms or outdoors

Through this program, we aim to grow the game of softball by breaking it down into a simplified version that helps kids learn the fundamentals—running, throwing, catching, and striking—while having fun. By starting with B5, students can build confidence and skills that spark their interest in trying traditional softball in their schools or communities.

Our goals are to:

Encourage physical activity and participation among students
Provide teachers with simple tools to introduce a new, engaging activity
Inspire the next generation of athletes to see softball as a sport they want to play beyond the classroom
