Team Rapid Fire Batting - Looking to use a little more power in the shots

• 3 groups/teams. Batters, bowlers and fielders. • One team bats whilst other teams fields. • All batters line up across the batting crease, in line with the cones. Bowlers line up half way down the pitch, in line with the stumps. • Bowlers should underarm the ball to the batters. • All players from batting team hit & then run at the same time between the sets of cones. • Fielders retrieve the balls and return to the bowlers. • Batters count the number of runs made before the bowler gets the ball back. Individual scores are added to get a team total. • Batters face 3 balls and then become the fielders. Fielders then become the bowlers and the bowlers become the new batters. • Team with highest score wins. NOTE: If this game is played on the netball/tennis courts, then it adds in the concepts of power (aiming to hit the ball over the tennis nets to force fielders to travel further - game suggestion: "fielders must start on the batsman side of the tennis nets") and accuracy (aiming for the gaps in the fielders - game suggestion: only a set number of fielders allowed on one court/fielders only allowed to stay in their specified "box" in the netball/tennis courts) LA - Able to demonstrate that they can keep their eyes on the ball when looking to strike MA - Able to make clean connections with the ball HA - Able to play shots with power/accuracy VHA - Able to play shots with a "smoothness" and with obvious intent to strike
