How to Play

Split the kids into 2 teams (or 4 if you have enough space to run two games at the same time).

One team is “batting” and the other is fielding.

The batting team is going to kick/throw a spongy/tennis ball as far as possible, and the fielders have to work together to bring it back to the plate by passing it to each other.

While the fielders are doing that, the batsman tries to score as many penalties as possible against the opposition’s goalie. For every score they get a “run”.

When everyone has “batted”, change over. At the end count which team has more runs.

You can swap shooting penalties for any activity related to your sport: free throws (basketball), kicks (rugby), etc.
