Frequently Asked Questions

If you cannot find an answer to your question, contact CoachD@5PitchPlucky.com

What if I have never played baseball before?

So what?! If you have ever watched a baseball game then you are qualified to play. You'll love it! We've had people who have watched their kids play for years but never got on the other side of the fence who now play regularly. Kids who gave up on baseball in their early years have found 5-Pitch Plucky® to ignite their interest in playing again. Regardless of your experience or skill level, it's fun. Get INTO the game!

What if I have played baseball before...will I have fun with first timers?

We haven't come across a game yet that hasn't included a cross-section of player skills, gender, age, or physical characteristics (just look at some of the photos on this website!). Some games have had 10 year-olds playing with former MLB players. Every game has been a blast for everyone.

Can females play?

Heck yes. Of course they can and they have a blast. There have been so many females who have played 5-Pitch Plucky® we can't keep count. We welcome anyone who wants to throw, catch, and bat.

What does a typical season look like?

Seasons are either 6-10 games depnding on the neighborhood. We play at the same field on the same day at the same time, making it easier to coordinate on your calendar. Games are typically four innings and run no longer than an hour and a half.

Is attending practices required?

There are no practices. We show up each week for games and do our best. It's fun because it's really about the joy of the game, not the points on the board at the end. Kind of like life.

What if I can't make every game?

No problem. We understand busy schedules. The format is flexible so that if you can't play one game or two, we'll still field two teams and have a great time without you. We'll miss you, but we'll play without you. : )

How do I register for a camaraderie?

Jump over to our [Register] page. You should also subscribe to our newsletter to get updates on camaraderies in your area.

What should I wear to a game?

Our youth players like to wear baseball pants so they can slide. The adults don't slide all that much so they typically wear shorts. Registered pluckers wear their reversible jerseys over a T-shirt. Cleats or tennis shoes are fine. We're out here to HAVE FUN.

What if I don't have a glove or a bat or a batting helmet?

Don't worry about spending money before playing, there are community gloves, helmets, and bats available at every game.

What types of baseball bats can be used in a 5-Pitch Plucky® game?

It depends. There are no bat restrictions for youth players. For adults in certain camaraderies, players will be assigned a particular type of bat so nobody gets hurt.

Can I bring 5-Pitch Plucky to my neighborhood?

Yes! See the tab [BECOME A SCOUT] for more information.

Does 5-Pitch Plucky have a copyright, registration, trademark, or patent?

Yes! Game and events are copyrighted and may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form. Any accounts or descriptions of events and/or games may not be disseminated without express written consent. Registrations, trademarks, and patents are in place or are pending.

Better yet, see us in person!

To be honest, you might be thinking, 'it can't be much fun' or 'I haven't played in years' or 'I've never played, only watched'—and that's okay! However, we invite you to experience the excitement of fast-paced baseball as part of our community building efforts. Let us know where you live, and we'll inform you about the next inclusive baseball game so you can join in and see the thrill for yourself.
