Split group into 2 - Batters and fielders Setup as shown above Each batsman will either pass or throw the ball in to the fielding area and run around the bases immediately to score. Nobody can be caught. To get a batter out, fielders must get the ball to a player standing in the bowling area whilst the batter is running in between the bases. If a batter reaches the safety of a base, before the ball reaches the bowling area, that player cannot run again until the ball is passed by the next batter.
Pass or throw the ball into the space to make it hard for the fielders. Ball cannot land outside the bases. Only one person on a base at any one time. Batter must run when the ball is passed.
