I'm eliminated!
So, what is Baseball 5?
So, it's a sophisticated type of baseball.
It's called Baseball 5.
We play with this small ball called Baseball 5, too.
Thank you.
It's a mixed sport.
We play at five on the field.
We do have to hit the ball first in attack, to attack the team.
We have to hit it like this on the field.
The team, the defense,
have to receive it and pass it to someone who's on the base.
Okay, show me, what can I do? What are the techniques?
First, what makes a good player?
You have to hit it.
Oh, what, like this?
Yes.
Sure? You're ready for this?
Yeah, yeah, go try it, go try it.
Yeah, yeah, just like this.
So, right there you took your...
That kind of hurts.
Yeah, the first time it hurts.
Yeah, yeah, you feel it.
Right there, you have a hit.
You've hit the ball.
The other team, so the defense, have to receive it and do a pass
to the other teammates to eliminate the first runner, the batter.
Okay, so if I want to eliminate you
and I'm in his team, how do I do it?
So I have to hit it like this and then yeah
and then and then I hit it to you no
Just like that, I'm eliminated because you are on the base.
Right, right, right.
So because you haven't ran here fast enough.
Okay, let's do it again.
Come on, Team France.
Come on, show us what you have.
I'm eliminated.
In a mixed game, how does that feel?
We are very proud to play with a mixed team.
Why?
Why is it?
Because everybody can do it.
It's open to everyone and it's just amazing to do it.
One, two, three, France!
