Skills and Tactics required in Rounders

Batting in Rounders • What is it? • How do we do it? • Explain a situation when the skill could be used in a game.

Batting Practice • A drill to improve your batting is shown in the diagram. The batter will stand in the batting box, and will be delivered balls continuously. The batter does not have to run. The batter should aim to hit each ball in the directions shown, where there will be two sets of cones acting as gates, one 30 m away and one 50 m away. If the ball goes past the first set of cones, the batter scores one point, if it goes past the second, they get 2 points. They only score points if the ball goes to a different set of cones each hit. The batter continues doing this until they can score a minimum of 20 points from 20 hits.

The bowler delivers a ball directly to you, you catch it and return it alternately to bowler and second base. 2) Add in a batter who stands in the batting square but does not attempt to hit the ball.

Bowling in Rounders • What is it? • How do we do it? • Explain a situation when the skill could be used in a game.

Bowling in Rounders • In order to practice your bowling in rounders, you should stand in the bowling box and ask a friend to be backstop in the correct position. You should then bowl 10 balls at them, making sure that they reach the backstop’s hands and that the backstop doesn’t have to move to collect a wide or high ball. • Once the basic skill is mastered, a batter should be added to hit the ball. The bowler should try to bowl fast enough to cause the batter to rush their shot and therefore decrease their chances of scoring a rounder.
