Equipment:
Game Equipment

Setup:
Split your team into 2 squads. One will play offense, one defense, just like a regular game. The defensive team doesn't need a full outfield. You may want to have a coach pitch to move things along.

Execution:
Similar to a real game, except the 3rd base coach will continually put the game in motion.

• Each half inning starts with a runner on 1st.
• Coach will signal a play each pitch. Bunt, steal, hit & run, etc.
• Outs are recorded, but there will always be at least 1 runner on base at all times.
