MEASUREMENTS

A field with a home area and one or two base markers roughly 15-20 meters out

HOW TO PLAY
1

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

2

A batter hits or throws the ball into the field and runs toward the base markers.

3

Fielders scoop up the ball and try to hit a running player below the shoulders with a thrown ball to burn them out.

4

A runner who reaches a base safely may stay there until it is safe to sprint for home.

5

After a set number of outs the teams swap roles, and the team that scored more home runs wins.
