3. Skittles - Fia to set up and review.
4. Outside - QE - Cali Kickball -
Equipment:
Three bases, a pitching strip, a home plate, and a kickball are needed to play the game.
The layout for California Kickball is pretty much identical to that of a baseball diamond, complete with four bases. With nine players on each team (if possible) the positions are the same as in baseball (three players on base, one shortstop (take out if not enough players) one pitcher, one catcher, and three outfielders). Each team takes turns playing offense and defense, which leads us to the next step...
If you've ever watched or played baseball, you pretty much know how this works. Keep in mind, though - there are a few differences. Instead of pitching the ball to a player, the pitcher must kick it to them (the concept of strikes and balls remains, though the likelihood of someone being unable to kick the ball isn't too great). If the ball is caught after being kicked, that player is automatically out. But if the ball bounces along without being caught, then the player can run to first base (or even further, if possible). Like baseball, the object is to clear all the bases and make it to home plate. You could just decide to end the game whenever one of the teams reaches a specific amount of points).
Pretty much every single rule found in California Kickball comes directly from baseball, so just keep that in mind as you play. If you want to prevent players from making their way from base to base, you have to grab the ball and tap them with it. Stealing bases is allowed, but if someone holding the ball tags you, you're out. And just like in baseball, if the pitcher kicks the ball too hard at the kicker and hits them with it, the kicker gets a free walk to first base.
