Ground Fielding:

Fielder 1 feeds from an angle, fielder 2 runs in and flicks at player 1 moving to the post. Player 1 touches the post with the ball.

The batter is either in or out.

When 3 lives are used up the team is out, then batters change with fielders.

Beat the ball:

For this practice you need 8 players per group. Set out 4 cone in a square about 5 metres apart. Set out 2 flags a further 5 - 10 metres away from the square . and finally a finishing post. The race is for the runner to beat the ball being thrown via every gold player to the finishing post.

Ground Fielding

Ground Fielding:

Long barrier Team A must roll the ball past team B to score a point (goal) and vice versa.

Ground Fielding

4 ball rounders:

1 player hits 4 balls anywhere into the field.

Once the batter has hit all the balls they run around all 4 posts as many times as possible, before the fielders get all the balls back into the square.
