Rounders: Dodgeball

Purpose to make sure players are paying attention at all times

Player in the middle should try to avoid being hit below the waist by a size 5 sponge ball. Players on the outside of the circle must keep the ball inside the circle. Players rotate after 1 minute. A scoring system could be put in place. Eg dodger gets a point every time the ball goes out of the circle. Players on the outside get a point every time the dodger is hit by the ball.

The aim of the game is to make 10 catches by a team without getting caught whilst holding the ball by the other team.

If a player is touched the ball goes to the other team and they try to achieve 10 catches.

First team to take the 10 catches whilst staying in the grid wins.

Players can run with the ball and if they do run out the grid the ball goes to the other side as well as if the ball is dropped.

Split the group into teams of 5. One team throwing the ball around posts.

One team running around the posts.

The ball starts by the batting square and has to be thrown to post one then 2 then 3 then 4 then back to the batting square.

The running team have to run and tag.

The first player in the batting square has to run to tag 1st post player this player has to run to release the player at 2nd post etc until the player on the forth post is tagged and runs back to the batting square.

Start again when ball and players are back in position again.

Best of 5 runs.

1 catcher, 5 attackers, and 3 defenders. Cones, tennis ball or rounders ball.

There are always more attackers than defenders.

Catcher starts in the inner circle and is on the same team as the attackers. The 3 defenders are in the next ring, and the rest of the attackers are in the outer ring.

The attackers aim to get the ball to the catcher, and for the defenders to try and intercept.

Attackers may pass the ball around the outside of the circle to each other to create space.

Teams can move but must stay in their own circle. They are not allowed in anyones else's.

Underarm throwing only.

Points System: Defenders 1 point for a touch, and 5 points for a catch. Attackers get 1 point every time the catcher receives the ball.
