Rounders - Women's Only Game

Come join us for some fun in the park

Social Sports Mix are playing a friendly casual game against Normandy Rounders Club, a women's Rounders Team.

How to play rounders
Not played rounders before? It's a traditional English sport for everyone, even the unsporty. Here's a video of us playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Bya3T5W3k

Rounders is a bat and ball game similar to baseball played by two teams. Your team will be either fielding or batting before swapping after the innings. When batting, the aim is to hit the ball, then try and run around the four posts. Your team gets a rounder if you make it round the four posts without stopping or getting out. You are out if when you hit the ball someone catches the ball before it reaches the ground or someone stumps a post before you get there.

The rules will be explained at the beginning of each meetup with a practice round at the beginning. We play a slightly modified version of the official rules where if you are out, it's not game over for you. Your team will lose a life instead. This will give everyone multiple opportunities to bat.

It's very simple to pick up and the ball we use is very soft. We are very beginner friendly and the focus is on having fun rather than being competitive. We attract attendees of all ages and sporting level. You are welcome to come and watch only too. We usually have a few people who do so while having a picnic and enjoying the park.

Come and meet us
Meet at 2pm in Regents Park. Here is the map of where we will be playing in the park (Cumberland Green):
