Setup, Equipment & Instructions
- Split Smashies into teams of three, with each team playing against a team next to them.
- A Smashie team consists of an underarm thrower, a wicketkeeper and a Smashie Statue.
- The Smashie thrower must underarm throw the ball between the cones on either side of the Smashie Statue.
- The wicketkeeper must move to catch the ball. Once the catch is made, they gently tap the ball against the Smashie Statue who yells “SMASH”.
- The game is a race, whoever yells “SMASH” first wins a point. Smashie’s rotate between the three positions each time.
