Non-Stop Soccer Cricket

Written By Lee Hartley

Set-Up

Make two teams. The coach is the pitcher. He stands in a 5 x 5-yard area 10 yards from the wickets (4 or 5 cones in a row). Position two cones 10 yards from the wickets.

Organization

The pitcher passes the ball on the ground from the mound area in the direction of the wickets (line of cones). The batter must kick the ball and then run around either the right or left base/cone, back to the wickets.

They must be ready to face the next pitch, which is delivered as soon as the pitcher receives the ball passed back from the outfield.

The batter continues to bat until he is bowled out (the pitcher knocks down the wicket) or caught by an outfielder. Continue until all batters on the team are out.

The batter receives one point each time they go around a cone/base and return to the wickets.

Variations

You can either play three out all out and change outfield to kickers or play all out before you change.
