DESCRIPTION

rapid fire cricket set up 5 or 6 windballs or tennis balls on batting tees between 2 cones approx 5m apart. Set up 2 sets of stumps approx 2m behind the balls, 15m apart. and 2 target cones or single stumps approx 20-30 meters in front of the balls (depending on age group). Fielders stand between between target cones/single stumps. Batter tries to hit each ball between target, fielders try to stop balls. Every ball through or over target scores 4. Catch is minus 10. After hitting all balls batter runs between stumps set up behind him/her. Meanwhile, fielders retrieve and then set up balls and tees between cones for the next batter. First batter runs until all balls and tees are back in place. Each complete run scores 1 in addition to any pimts from htting through target area protected by fielders. Safety - fielders may not come forward to start setting up until after the last ball has been hit. Fiekders must be at east 15m from the balls. 6- 8 per game, 1 batter, 1 player getting ready to bat, rest are fielders. Can also designate umpire to judge 4s and a scorer for groups up to 10. Each player gets one turn at bat, highest points wins.
