Sports Girl L-Z
Rules:
1) A team consists of eight players. A minimum of six is needed to start and continue a game.
2) Everyone bats each inning.
3) The ball is put in play when the pitcher (a player on the defensive team) rolls the ball toward home plate and the batter attempts to kick the ball.
4) A game will consist of 7 innings.
This game is much like baseball; there is first, second, third and home bases. You kick the ball as far as you can without being caught or kicking the ball so it goes out of the diamond, which is called a faule.
Kickball is a great sport, which you can play in sport classes at school or even at lunch with your friends. All you need is a large area to play, a soccer ball and four bright items for the bases, and then you and your friends are set to play. So why not give it a try?
