Tactical Focus:
Placement away from fielders
|
 |
Two batters have a tee (large pylon) each in the middle of the playing area. Eight pylons are set up in two lines of four on either side of the batters (parallel to one another). The fielders spread out around the batters. |
|
Both batters hit their balls of their tees at the same time and run along their respective lines in an attempt to reach as many pylons as possible. If they reach the end they run back along the line. |
|
Each pylon is worth one point and both batters create a collective score. |
|
Fielders collect both balls and when they are placed back on each tee the batters must stop running. |
|
Batters get 6 hits in total (3 each) to see how many runs they can get. If they are caught out they minus 5 runs off their score. |
|
 |
 |
|
Rather than returning the balls to the tees, fielders must hit the base the players are running to or tag the player to stop their running. |
|
Reduce the number of batters to one. |
|
Use a smaller pylon to make a lower tee and change the implement to a cricket bat. |

How can you work together to place your balls away from the fielders? |
|
Where can you place the ball so that the fielders have to do the most running? |
|
|
 |
|
Every fielder has to touch the balls before they are returned to the tees. |
|
Use a larger ball and bat (such as a raquet). |
