Palant

Split into a batting team and a fielding team, with fielders spread across the open field.

A batter hits a tossed ball with the paddle, then sprints to the far line and back before being tagged out.

Fielders try to catch the hit ball for an automatic out, or throw it to hit the runner while they are between the lines.

Runners may pause at the far line for a safer moment to sprint back.

Rotate through the batting order, then switch sides; the team with more completed runs after both sides bat wins.
