HOW TO PLAY
1

Split into a batting team and a fielding team, with the fielding team spreading out across the open field.

2

A batter tosses the ball up and strikes it out into the field using the bat or paddle.

3

After striking, the batter runs the length of the marked long track out to a distant turning point and back toward home.

4

Fielders retrieve the struck ball as quickly as possible and either catch it before it lands or throw it to hit the runner while they are out on the track.

5

A caught ball or a successful hit on the runner puts that runner out; reaching home safely scores a run for the batting team.

6

Teams swap roles after an agreed number of outs, and whichever team scores more total runs across the innings played wins.
