Scatter Ball

Kia ora Everyone.
For the last week we have been doing a some writing that people could play in play time.
Here is my writing.

Scatter Ball!!!

If you throw all three balls, and run then you can play, Scatter ball!!! To play this game you need, to have 4 cone (Bases), three balls and a bucket.  The game is like Softball, with bases set in a diamond, consisting of a home base, and bases 1, 2 and 3. The main difference between Softball and Scatter ball however, is no batter and pitcher. This game is played entirely using your skills of throwing, catching, speed and teamwork. If you have got all of those things then you can play the game but first you need to have every single one of those well you don’t but if you want to be awesome at the game then you need to practice the game a lot and if you want to have all of those skills then you should keep on practicing the game.  

Here are the steps to the game.

Step 1.First you need to set the area that you are going to be playing in. You would need 4 cones and place them in a diamond shape and they have to be 12m from each other. Then you would need to get a bucket and put it next to the cone that you pick to be your main base. After that you would need to get 3 balls and put them in the bucket.

Step 2.Next you need to put everyone into teams. I would do girl vs boys because then there is no fighting who goes in what team. Then you need to pick if girls throw first or boys.I would go girls first so then every girl gets a go.

Step 3.The throwing team line up and the fielders scatter around in the cones.

Step 4.The first person in line gets to take the 3 balls out of the bucket and throw them but if you throw them and a fielder catches it on there fall then you are out so I would roll them and then you have to run all the way around the cones and if the boys get the 3 balls back in the bucket before you get back to  home base then you have to go back to the cone you had just passed but there is a catch with the fielders they can’t run with a ball so you need a backstop which is a person that stands at the bucket and you throw the ball to the them and they can only put one ball in the bucket at a time.

You win by getting the most points and you need skills to win.

This game gets very tense so be careful.
