HOW TO PLAY
1

Divide into two teams and mark goal zones at opposite ends of the field.

2

One team's batter strikes the ball to send it into play while the fielding team tries to catch or retrieve it.

3

Players may block an opponent carrying the ball with their body, but striking with the bat at another player is not allowed.

4

A team scores by carrying or striking the ball into the opposing goal zone.

5

Teams switch batting and fielding roles after an agreed number of turns, and the side with more scores when play ends wins.
