Split players into 2 teams (batters and fielders) Each batter will take one shot hitting a ball from a tee. (once more advanced can play from a feed). Once the ball is hit, the fielders must get the ball to the coach (yellow) as quick as possible. The batter must run to any colour of cone. Blue = 2 runs Green = 4 runs Red = 6 runs Yellow = 8 runs white = 10 runs. The batter MUST get back to the black cones before the ball gets back to the wicketkeeper to score the runs. If the ball gets back first, the batter scores 0. If the fielder makes a catch they also score 0. Each batter has one shot, then teams swap over.
Step close to the ball when batting fielders must throw the ball in fast Use the bat to extend the arm and reach over the cone and into the black zone
