Hit Throw Go

Aim:

Hit throw and go is a fielding game that develops teamwork. The batters are challenged to place balls tactically and fielders to position themselves effectively and return the balls in the shortest possible time.

How to

1. Play in teams of 4
2. In a marked diamond area, split your group into 2 teams, a fielding team and a batting team
3. Fielders are not allowed inside the base lines and not allowed to move until the last ball has been thrown into the field of play
4. The batter hits 2 balls off a tee and throws the 3rd ball into the field
5. The player can either run the bases or run/walk back and forth between 2 makers to score runs for their team
6. As the last ball is thrown, fielders collect all 3 balls and place them in the hoop or bucket as quickly as possible to minimise run scoring
