Three Flies In
Divide the team into two relatively equal teams:
One starts as offense, the other as defese
DEFENSE ----> POSITIONED IN THE OUTFIELD - ON THE GRASS
OFFENSE ----> HIT WITH A SOFT TOSS FROM HOME PLATE
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE OFFENSE HITS THE BALL ?
- A FLY BALL:
- HITS THE GRASS = 1 RUN FOR OFFENSE
-
CAUGHT = 1 FLY BALL FOR DEFENSE
-
A GROUND BALL:
- FIELDED CLEANLY = 1 GROUND BALL
- THREE GROUND BALLS = 1 FLY BALL
-
MISHANDLED = 1 RUN
-
A BALL THAT DOESN'T GO TO OUTFIELD GRASS = 1 FLY BALL
WHEN THE DEFENSE GETS THREE FLY BALLS THEY CHANGE TO OFFENSE
AFTER SEVERAL ROUNDS (EACH TEAM ON OFFENSE ONCE) THE TEAM WITH THE MOST RUNS IS THE WINNER.
