Rounders: Throw to hit the post

Break the ice and get everyone moving! Use this fun games session to improve your players' fielding, throwing and catching!

Using a set of cricket wickets or posts. Roll the ball along the ground to a team mate. You can run with the ball, but the ball must be rolled along the ground.

Aim to hit the stumps (approach from any side of the square)in the opposition square, using an underarm flick. The square is made up of cones, distance 5-8 metres from the stumps.
No fielders at any time are allowed inside the square. The ball is never out of bounds, as there are no boundaries.

• The fielder on the base, or any fielder, must attempt to get the batter 'out' by touching the base that the batter is running towards, before the batter reaches the base
• The fielder must have ball in control in their hand, and touch the base with the ball.
