Mat Ball
Kickball with gym mats for bases and no outs, just a lot of runners.
12–40 players · about 25 minutes · Run around · Gym, Outdoors
What you need
- 4 gym mats or large blankets as bases
- One kickball
Setup
Set the four mats up like bases. Split into a kicking team and a fielding team.
How to play
- Kickers kick and run. Any number of players can stand on one mat.
- Runners can stay on a mat or keep running. You score a point by going all the way around and back home.
- Fielders get runners out by catching a kick in the air or hitting a runner who's off a mat (below the shoulders).
- Switch sides after three outs, or after everyone kicks.
How to win
The team with the most runs wins.
Safety: Soft balls only, and no throwing at heads.
