BOWLER GOALER To score runs as a team ( balls per team). To start: Select teams of -6 players. Mark out the playing area with markers, size dependent on number of players. Designate the Bowler Goaler area with 3 markers at each end. The game: Players in possession of the ball can take a maximum of five steps before attempting to pass to a teammate. If the ball hits the ground or is intercepted the opposing team takes possession. The object is to pass the ball to the Bowler Goaler in the designated area (where no other players can enter) who then bowls attempting to score by hitting the stumps. The ball cannot be intercepted once bowled until after it passes the stumps. If the stumps are hit a goal is scored and the ball is returned to the centre for the scoring team to restart the game. If the Bowler Goaler misses the stumps the opposing team begin with the ball from the backline. NO contact is allowed. NOTE: Players can be designated forwards, defenders etc. with restricted areas to reduce congestion. Stumps should be moved closer to bowler to allow success.

Each bowler bowls 6 balls and then the bowling team rotate to bring a new bowler to the crease. If bowled ball is missed (& doesn t hit the stumps) or can t be reached, batter hits ball from a tee of their choice. Only the hit ball is in play. Batters can be out Bowled at Y, Caught or Run Out at any set of stumps. Batters rotate to next base if out, no runs are scored on a delivery if a run out occurs. When the batter hits the ball, all batters must run in an anticlockwise direction to the next base. Batters may run more than one base at a time. One run is scored for each successful run to the next base by all batters. After all bowling team members have bowled 6 balls each team changes roles. The game continues until each team has batted & bowled. Highest score wins. Are the bowlers bowling accurately enough for the batters to hit most balls? Are the bowlers focussing on watching the spot on the pitch where they wish the ball to land? Skills: Beginner bowlers should stand at the crease and bowl not use a run up. It is encouraged to have players in turn practicing basic bowling with the helper coach and then rotated through the game. Positively reinforce beginner bowlers when they correctly perform any of the coaching points of bowling. Match players by size and ability ie. Have the best batters facing the best bowlers etc. Use the best person to demonstrate skills or activities, this may be a child or an adult! Using a normally disruptive or restless child as demonstrator can assist concentration and behaviour. 30 3
