How Football Rounders Works
The rules of Football Rounders are simple and accessible, making it ideal for mixed groups and players of all skill levels. Just like in regular rounders (or baseball), players take turns kicking the ball and running around the bases to score points. The opposing team fields and attempts to tag runners out or return the ball to base before a run is scored.
Each game is made up of several innings, with teams alternating between kicking and fielding. Players aim to complete a full circuit of the bases and return to home base without being caught or tagged. Scoring a home run brings a massive cheer and keeps the energy levels high throughout.
Whether you're in it for the competition or just for laughs, Football Rounders brings plenty of entertainment and team spirit.
