01HOW TO PLAY KICKBALL?
The rules of Kickball are very similar to that of baseball. However, instead of
hitting a baseball, a player kicks a ball.
The objective is to score points by running around and touching all four
bases in order without getting out.
A kickball game is played by two teams of 9 players each who try to score
more runs than their opponent.
EQUIPMENT
All you need for a game of Kickball is a ball the size of a soccer ball, Physical
Education clothing (including sneakers-trainers) and four bases. Bases can
be composed of shirts, cones, hula hoops, Frisbees, etc.
FIELD
The bases are situated in the shape of a diamond:
home plate, 1st base, 2nd base and third base.
(See diagram)

2. A team scores a point when a player touches all four bases in
order and touches home base without getting out.
The team with the most runs at the end of a game wins.
A Kickball game lasts six innings. An inning is one of the periods
of the game in which each team has a turn to kick.
A team continues to kick until they get three outs.
The kicking order cannot change during the game.
In class we alternate boys and girls for kicking and pitching.
02MAIN RULES

3. Ways to get out:
If a player kicks and fails to put the ball into play after three
good pitches (3 strikes)

catches it (before the ball touches the ground)
If a defensive player tags or throws and hits an offensive player
with the ball (below the shoulders) before they get on base
If a defensive player gets the ball to a base before the offensive
