While most people think that softball developed long after baseball as a female-centric spin-off, that's actually not quite true.
Instead, the sport first came into play in 1887, when some college students in Chicago started playing a game of "baseball" using a broom handle and a balled up glove. They quickly developed a set of rules, and the rest is history!
For as long as anyone can remember, the history of softball has also included a history of fun chants and cheers to getting players rooting for their team, engaging with fans or distracting their opponents.
If you're ready to boost your team spirit, read on to learn a few fun softball cheers you need to know.
While there are plenty of fun, lengthy cheers out there, you can't go wrong with a short and simple chant to get your players cheering on their teammates. This one is easy to remember and a fun way to encourage the player at bat.
Hit it hard, hit it level
Hit it hard, hit it level
Then run like the devil!
If you're looking for a longer cheer with plenty of opportunity for joining in with stomps and claps, you can't go wrong with dynamite. You'll need one player to yell the beginning of each line, while the rest of your team chimes in with the second half, written in parenthesis below.
Our team is what? (Dynamite)
Our team is what? (Dynamite)
(Our team is tick, tick, tick, BAM Dynamite!)
Your team is what? (Dynamite)
Your team is what? (Dynamite)
(Your team is tick, tick, tick, tick PSSSSHHHH, yeah right!)
Showcase your pride in every woman on your team with this fun cheer:
See that batter at that plate?
She's the best in all the state!
She's got the spirit, she's got pride
Ha, ha, ha she's on our side!
If you want to encourage your fans to play along, this cheer is certain to get them moving:
Show your spirit in the stands
Show your spirit in the stands
Sit down and take a rest
Now you know that we're the best!
Everyone loves a good sing-along cheer. For this one, one player will sing a line and the rest of the team will then echo it.
Everywhere we go
People want to know,
Who we are
So we tell them
We are (team name)
The mighty, mighty (team name)
As you might have guessed, this chant is sung to the rhythm of "That's the Way" by KC and the Sunshine Band. It's perfect for shouting after a great hit or when the other team's pitcher throws a ball.
That's the way, uh huh uh huh
We like it, uh huh uh huh
That's the way, uh huh uh huh
We like it, uh huh uh huh
Finally, a cheer to remind everyone just how awesome your team really is:
Our team is what?
Red hot!
Our team is R-E-D, with a little bit of H-O-T
Oh baby, R-E-D-H-O-T
Redhot! Redhot! Redhot!
Any of these softball cheers and chants can be a great way to get your players engaged and rooting for one another! But cheers aren't the only way to boost your team pride.
