Batting-
-stand side ways, bat up and do not take your eyes off the ball
-try hitting the ball 3/4 way down the bat
-if you usually do very powerful bats and get the ball very far (the opponents will back up and prepare for you to belt it) instead just tap it to the side of you ;) it suprises them and they all leg it forward to reach the ball by which time you are ATLEAST half way around.
-sometimes it is better to take a 'no ball' than go back and bat again.

Balling-
-ball UNDERarm
-move your foot forward when you swing your arm.
-look where you are aiming the ball
-do a powerful ball (it makes the opponents have a more powerful bat which, in my opinion is a lot easier to catch then a weak ball)
-help out your fellow fielders e.g. Your team mate needs to get the ball to 4th base but is far away, signal for them for them to throw the ball to you and you throw it to 4th.
Fielding the base-
The most important bases are 2nd and 4th. These people need to be able to catch and be aware of what is happening at all times.
-BE SURE TO ALWAYS STUMP YOUR BASE!!!
-you need to have quick reactions
-must be able to throw the distance between the bases accuratly e.g. From 2nd base to 4th base (you are much more likely to get your opponent out)
Backstop-
Pretty simple
-you must be able to catch a ball e.g. If a batter hits the wall but it goes behind them.
-you must be able to throw to the 2nd base.
-must be able to think fast in which base they need to send the ball to.
Fielding long-
-must be good at catching!! -do not be scared of the ball!!
-must be good at throwing long distance.
-depending on whether the batter is left or right handed move around the field -your feet are not glued to that patch of grass!
-must react quickly to were to send the ball.

(Sorry if there's bad spelling)

Batting-
-stand sideways, bat up and do not take your eyes off
the ball
-try hitting the ball 3/4 way down the bat
-if you usually do very powerful bats and get the ball very far (the opponents
will back up and prepare for you to belt it) instead just tap it to the side of
you ;) it surprises them and they all leg it forward to reach the ball by which
time you are at least half way around.
-sometimes it is better to take a 'no ball' than go back and bat again.

Balling-- you
can ball Underarm
-you can move your foot forward when you swing your arm.
-you need to look where you are aiming the ball

bat which, in my opinion is a lot easier to catch then a weak ball)

2nd base to 4th base (you are much more likely to get your opponent out)

These
tactics have to be used in order to win the game because you need to know what
you are doing e.g. Batting. In rounder’s it is different to other sports
because you have to bat correctly. Also you have to get to one base to another
without getting caught out with the ball (basically you have to run to another
post without the ball getting touched on the post else you will be out).

Be
sure you stand on the inside of the base so you do not obstruct anyone. If you
do the other team will get half a rounder.

  • If it is the last ball, the backstop is allowed to throw the ball into the batting box and that will end the game.
  • If you hit the ball really far on a no ball you are allowed to run anyway and if you do, your team gets an extra bat.

If the batter looks out to a space, don't be gullible. Most people say if the batter looks out somewhere they will hit it out there. Thats not always true. I've been in many rounders teams, and people have obviously seen the tactic for looking into the space coz people look into a space and everyone runs to it then they hit to the other side. So don't be gullible.
If you mess up when your out deep don't make a big deal about it, no ones perfect and gets it right every time. Even if your 'the best' on the team you can still make mistakes. Don't worry about it.
