| Tenerball
Equipment: tennis
racket, tennis ball, baseball field
Number of players:
10
How to play: Pick
two teams of five players. It's like kick ball, but you use a tennis
racket and ball, and you have to run around the bases two times to score
a run. The first time you touch home plate you automatically go to
first base again. Two people can be on the same base together.
Also there are five outs instead of three. When the ball is hit if
it goes out of bounds it is still a fair ball. The pitcher throws
the ball and you hit it with the racket. You have to
run as fast as you can. If someone catches the ball in the air then
you are out. You can also get them out by pegging them with the ball.
The team with the most runs scored wins. |
