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 ?

1. A FLY BALL:
2. HITS THE GRASS = 1 RUN FOR OFFENSE

3. CAUGHT = 1 FLY BALL FOR DEFENSE

4. A GROUND BALL:

5. FIELDED CLEANLY = 1 GROUND BALL
6. THREE GROUND BALLS = 1 FLY BALL

7. MISHANDLED = 1 RUN

8. 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.
