Free Softball SVG Files

Softball SVG is a sports team game with a ball, a kind of baseball. Softball SVG is similar in size to a grapefruit, softer than a baseball and slower in flight. Softball is played by both men and women. There are several types of games: Fast Pitch – Fast Feed, Slow Pitch – Slow Feed, Modifay Pitch – Medium Feed. The Olympic discipline from 1996 to 2008 was the game “fast patch” among women’s teams.

In many countries where baseball is common, softball is also popular because it is preferred by non-professionals. Differences in softball from baseball are aimed at reducing injuries and adapted to the lower physical abilities of athletes.
