Create a circular Zone with two target stumps in the middle. The size of the zone should be determined by the player stage of development. Two teams of three each defending their boundary. Players throw overarm at either stump as hard as they can. A direct hit counts one point. Assuming throw is close to either stump, if ball crosses opponents boundary one points to the team that threw the ball. Two points if the ball hits a stump and then crosses the boundary. PROGRESSIONS Use tennis, windball, incrediball or hard ball depending on size of area, quality of surface and experience of players. Allow players to pass sideways or backwards once to change the angle Award a point to opponents for a fumble.
