Objective: Score the most points each inning
Items Needed: Kickballs(Different colors), Bases, Field or gym
How To Play:
The game is played very similar to normal kickball except it involves three teams going at the same time!!! The field is set up as shown below…
How To Play CONT.:
Divide into three teams. One team starts in the field. Their goal is to get 3 outs from both other teams. the other two teams are the first two kicking teams. The game is self pitch to where you have a player from your team pitch to your team. The kicking teams keep kicking until they get 3 outs or they kick through their entire kicking order whichever comes first. Once a team is out and has three outs the inning is over for them, but not necessarily the other teams, because the other team kicking may not have kicked through yet or received three outs. If that is the case and there is only one team still kicking, the defending fielders may all focus on getting the one team out. If the fielders get both teams out or if both teams kick through then the inning is over. The teams rotate and Team 3 who was defending first then gets to kick and Team 1 goes to the field to defend and Team 2 stays kicking. Once that inning is over rotate and Team 2 goes to the field, Teams 1 and 3 are now kicking. That way every team has to field and defend once, and gets to kick twice! A team cannot pitch unless the other team is pitching at the same time. ie – if team 1 still has a ball in play or a runner running then team 2 cannot pitch until the play is called dead. Then both teams pitch at the same time to their respective teams.
Rules For Kicking\Fielding: If a player kicks it and the defenders catch it before it hits the ground then its an out. If the fielders get the ball to a player on the base before the runner gets to the base(on a force out) then its an out. If the kicker misses the kick three times (3 Strikes because its self pitch so your team is pitching to your team) its an out! If the fielder tags the runner when the runner is off of base then its an out. Team 2 can only get out by the team 2 ball, and team 3 can only get out by the team three ball. A player cannot get out by another team’s ball. IE – A player from T2 Kicks it far and runs to first base, and the fielders throw the ball that was kicked by the other team to the base before he gets there – the runner is not out because it was the other team’s ball.
