Rounders: Inside / Outside Throwing

There's more to rounders than just batting. Get your players enthused about bowling and fielding around the posts in this action packed session.

Try this fun and relaxed session. Designed for all ages and abilities, this session will help you to start your rounders campaign on the right foot!

Player with a ball each in a set area. Players have to throw the ball up for them selves and catch.

Increasing the distance and height the ball is thrown each time.

Simple throw and run race, from the starting cone to the finish cone (drill is ended when a player stumps the cone).

Teams of 4 (or more) players stand in a line, with the first player with the ball in hand. On the coach's call the first player turns and throws the ball to the next player.

Once the ball has been thrown this player runs to the back of the line, awaiting their next turn to catch and throw.

The winning team is the first one to reach cone B.

Partners stand opposite each other and throw a ball back and forth, trying to see how many catches they can make in a given time (e.g. 1 minute).

Player 1 rolls the ball out for 2 to run in and flicks the ball back to 1 who catches it and puts it down. Player 3 then rolls the ball out towards 1, who runs towards 3, flicks the ball at 3 who catches it and puts the ball down.

On completing the throw you join the opposite queue.
Aim: First team to take 15 catches wins. If you drop one you go back to 0.
