Playing in at least two teams – batting and fielding – Batters hit balls 360 degrees around the arena. They run around cones to score while the fielding team collects the balls. The team with the most runs wins. Lots of quick changes, lots of action.
Setup, Equipment & Instructions
- Split the Smashie group into teams of 3-4. One team to bat, all other teams to field together.
- Batting Smashies have to hit a set number of balls. The Smashie has 360 degrees in which to do this.
- 2 Smashies bat at a time, with other team members feeding the batters.
- Batting Smashies run around the outside cones as many times as they can, while the fielding Smashies return all the balls into the bucket and call “stop”.
- Rotate teams through batting as often as possible.
