Aim

 Practice the batting & Fielding techniques learned in basics

Equipment Required

• 3 saucer cone
• 2 large cones
• 2 stumps
• 1 bat & 1 ball per game (8 – 10 student group) 

Play Area Set-Up

1. A rectangular play zone is marked with saucer cones & stumps. One side of the zone is batters area & others placed approx. 10 m away as the fielder’s area.
2. A saucer cone/tee is placed at the center of the longer edge towards the batter’s side where batsman stands and hits.
3. Stumps are placed on the long edges of the rectangular play area on the batsman’s end and saucer cones/tees are placed on edges of the fielder’s end

Activity Description

1. The game can be played in teams or by having a fielder replace a batter when they have completed their turn.
2. The batter hits the ball from the tee between the markers. The batter then runs around either of the stumps to the left or right as many times as possible, before the fielding side can retrieve the ball and place it back on the tee.
3. Each lap of stump counts as a run scored. If the batter fails to hit the ball or clear the neutral zone the player repeats that turn. Each batter has 2 hits.
4. Once the ball is placed on the tee the batter must wait until the fielder resumes their position before they can hit the ball.
5. No fielders are allowed in the area between the batter and the markers (neutral zone).

  Grade Level Progression 

1. Shorten or widen the play area to increase batting & fielding complexities.
2. Include hitting a particular target as part of batting to get additional run
3. Have a bowler to bowl to the batsman instead of using a tee
