Groups organised into 2 equal teams as illustrated
Each batter strikes the ball which has been served by the coach or teacher and attempts to run around the cones and back to the base line
The fielding team must retrieve the ball and throw it to each of the bases in turn attempting to beat the running batter to the final base
The batting team continues for a set time or until all the batters are out
Teams then rotate
The team which completes the most runs are deemed winners
