Played on an open field with a home base and a far marker post.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Split into a batting team and a fielding team, and mark a home base and a distant post on the field.

2

A player from the fielding team throws the ball toward the batter, who tries to strike it with the bat.

3

After hitting the ball, the batter sprints to the far post and back to home base before being tagged out.

4

Fielders chase the ball and try to hit a running batter with it, or catch a hit ball directly out of the air to get them out.

5

Each batter who completes the run safely scores a point for their team.

6

Teams switch batting and fielding roles after enough outs are recorded, and the higher final score after an agreed number of innings wins.
