Batter steps out of the side of the batting square...?

The batter steps out of the side of the batting square before the bowler releases the ball, what does the umpire call?

I believe you are called out. :)

Rounders CoachCoach

- A batter may not step out of the square in

a forward or backward direction when hitting or

attempting to hit the ball. If they do the Umpire

declares them out. They may step out of the

side of the square in order to hit a ball. (Careful

observation by the Umpire of the exact timing of

the hit and the position of the batter's feet at the

moment of impact is necessary here)
