Run as quickly as possible while keeping an eye on the ball and the field situation. Training Variations 1. Batting Coordination Drills: Objective: Improve accuracy and strength of the hit. Method: Players practice hitting balls pitched at different heights and distances. 2. Partner Catching Drills: Objective: Improve hand agility and catching response. Method: Players pair up and throw and catch balls from various distances. Increase the challenge by varying the direction of throws. 3. Running Between Bases Drills: Objective: Improve speed and agility in base running. Method: Players practice sprinting from base to base within a set time.

Method: In one drill, the batting team focuses on safe hitting and running, while the fielding team practices coordinating catches and throws to eliminate runners. Basic Rules of Rounders 1. Each team consists of 6-9 players, with one batter at a time, and others fielding or covering bases. 2. A player scores by completing a full run around all the bases after hitting the ball. A full run is if the player completes the round without being out, while partial runs can be scored if players reach only some bases. 3. There are 4 bases that the runner must pass. Each time a runner reaches a base safely, they cannot be eliminated. 4. Fielders can eliminate a runner by catching the ball before it hits the ground (fly out) or by throwing the ball to a base before the runner reaches it (force out). 5. The game is divided into innings, each inning lasting until all batters have had their turn or the opposing team successfully eliminates a set number of runners. Athletics Athletics is a branch of sports that involves various basic human movements, such as running, jumping, and throwing.
