Set up the field as show (the distance between the batting tee and the goal will depend on the ability of the group). Divide the group into two teams, a batting team and a fielding team. The batting team will attempt to hit the ball off the tee, through the goals with two different coloured markers spaced rather close together offering double points to the outer goals. The fielding team has to try and stop the ball from going into the goals. After both teams have had an innings batting, the team with the most points wins.
