About Sport Hammer Ball

Hammer Ball is a modern, exciting, and injury-free outdoor sport that blends the energy of cricket, baseball, and traditional Indian games into one unique experience. Invented in India and nurtured by the Swingshot International Hammerball Sports Federation (SIHSF), this game is designed to promote fitness, teamwork, and community spirit.

Played between two teams of 18 players (15 on-field, 3 substitutes), Hammer Ball is fast-paced, inclusive, and can be played on any ground, day or night. With its colorful gear, innovative scoring, and simple yet strategic rules, Hammer Ball is quickly emerging as India's next global sport.

Each team consists of 18 players15 on-field players and 3 substitutes. Only on-field players participate during active gameplay; substitutes can be rotated as per official match regulations.
A thrower delivers five legal throws per unit from the designated Thrower Area. All throws must follow official techniques; illegal or faulty throws are not counted as scoring opportunities.
Runs can be scored in three main ways:
Cycle Runs by running safely between hitter zones;
Auto Runs when the ball crosses field sections (2, 4, or 8 runs);
Boundary Runs when the ball crosses the outer line (8 runs).
Players can be dismissed via miss-hits, cycle dismissals, direct catches, stepping out of zones, or violating specific throwing and hitting rules — maintaining the game’s pace and discipline.
Teams alternate between hitting and defending. After completing the set number of units, the team with the highest total runs is declared the winner. Tiebreaker rules apply if scores are equal.
