OFTEN USED WITH...

team scatterball:

Divide players into two teams, one fielding and one batting.

The fielding team bowls 4 consecutive balls to a better. Once the batter has hit all 4 balls into the field, all of the batters on the batting team must run around all the bases at the same time, as many times as they can before all of the balls have been returned by the fielding team.

The next batter then does the same, and all of the batters run when all 4 balls have been hit. Do this for each batter on the batting team, before the fielding team goes in to bat.

Winner is the team with the most rounders scored.

In 3’s, 2 feeders, worker sets up to catch over the shoulder and passes it back to the same feeder – change so that takes a catch and sends ball to opposite side.

Ground Fielding

Stop the ball - Cover Fielding:

Two cones are placed left and right in front of the feeder.

Ball is fed into play.

The closest player creates a wall to stop the ball and the other play backs up the first player.

The ball is then thrown to the post and the ball thrower follows the ball to the post.
