DIFFICULTY
SETTING
Outdoor
MATERIALS
- A wooden bat
- A small rubber ball
MEASUREMENTS
Rectangular field roughly 30x60 meters with a batting area at one end and a far line at the other
HOW TO PLAY
1
Split into a batting team and a fielding team, with the batting team lined up at the home area.
2
A fielding player pitches the ball underhand to the batter, who tries to hit it into the field.
3
After a hit, the batter sprints to the far line and back before the fielding team can retrieve the ball and hit them with a thrown ball while running.
4
A batter who reaches the far line and returns safely without being hit scores a point for their team.
5
Fielders may also record an out by catching a hit ball before it touches the ground.
6
Switch team roles after all batters are out or an agreed number of rounds pass, and the team with more points wins.
