Sample Activities:

 

·        TWO PITCH BASEBALL - This game allows students to play many innings of baseball/softball with a maximum number of fielding and batting opportunities. It follows most of the rules of regular baseball except that players pitch to their own team (e.g., the on-deck batter pitches to his/her teammate). Divide the class into teams of 5 to 8 students. Each batter gets two pitches and an additional pitch if the second is a foul ball. Speed up the game by starting each inning with one out.

 

      Variation: Use wiffle balls and bats instead of regulation baseball/softball equipment.


Variation: Start the inning with a base runner. Play one-inning games. Discuss end-of-game strategies.
