The idea is to get them to run inbetween the stumps without been hit with the tennis ball, from the waist down. Dependant upon the size avalible, depends upon the type of throwing used. The fielders must stay behind the cones when throwing the ball. The pair that last the longest win. If one in the pair is hit them they are out, leaving the other one to run on there own.
Can be used as a warm up. For more advanced groups get them to run fully padded up, and make the distance from the stumps to the cones larger. For groups of younger children Make distance between stumps smaller. Make distance between stumps and cones smaller. Don't incule bats and pads.
