Specifically designed for the safety and enjoyment of young softball players, the Champion Sports' E-Z Slide Official Softball Home Plate prioritizes both function and fun. Constructed from a durable, weather-resistant molded rubber base measuring 16" x 17" x 1", this plate features beveled edges that prevent snags and injuries during slides. Three metal spikes securely anchor the plate to the ground, even on impact with a runner. This official softball-sized plate is slightly smaller than regulation baseball models, creating a confidence-inspiring environment for young athletes as they develop their skills and enthusiasm for the game.
