5-Base
Rules:
5-Base is a large group activity played with 2 teams.
The object of the game is to score runs and to get
players out.
The game starts with the pitcher rolling a kickball to
the kicker and the kicker kicking the ball and running either right or left to
the first base. If the runner gets
to one of the bases without being hit by the dodge ball they are safe and can
continue to run the bases if they want. There
is another ball the may hit them after they have run to the first base, this
ball can only be thrown by the person standing in the middle circle.
If the thrower throws the ball and hits the runner they are out.
The only time that they cannot throw the ball is when the runner is
running to their first base.
Runners can run at anytime and you can have as many
players on a base at a time.
To score a point you must round all 5 bases 2 times to
score a point. You must round the
bases in the same direction as you started.
So if you started running left you must continue in that direction.
To get out someone can catch your kicked ball, tag you,
or throw a ball at you and hit you shoulders and below.
You will play 3 outs and switch.
Give other players chances at being the pitcher and the
thrower.
