Split groups into approx teams of 5-6. Each group standing in a line behind a Tee with 5 balls.

Place two cones spaced approx 2m apart, 5m infront of Tee. This is the goal for the batters. 

Behind the goal, place a hoop and one person to collect the balls. 

Batter hits their 5 balls, aiming to get in between cones. Collector retrieves their balls and places them in hoop. Once the 5 balls have been hit, collector picks up 5 balls and gives them to next person in line before going to back of line. Batter moves to the collector position. 

Each time the ball goes inbetween the cones they get one point. Make it a competition to see who is the most accurate with their hits.

Modification:

- make it easier or harder by moving distance of goal from Tee, or making the goal bigger or smaller. 

- collector can wear a mit if desired, to practice their catching technique.
