Year 3 Virtual Rapid Fire Cricket Challenge

• There are separate competitions for Year 3 and Year 4. Schools may enter 3 teams of 10 players per year group. For each year group please number your teams 1, 2 and 3. Within each team, children should be sorted into batting pairs.
• Schools may set up this event as an Intra-School Competition allowing a whole-class to take part at the same time meaning it can be run during a PE lesson.
• The format of this competition allows teams to be scored on their batting and fielding. This allows two teams to take part at one time, one team batting and one team fielding. It is within each teams interest to bat and field to the best of their ability even though they are working with another team in order to score as many points as they can.
• Scoring should be completed by a member of staff using the scoring sheet included in this activity pack.
• Each team will have 5 minutes batting time and 5 minutes fielding time.
• The scores for batting and fielding for each team are added together to give a total score for each team.
• In order to score each team for batting and fielding, the following format can be used:
• Team 1 Batting, Team 2 Fielding, Team 3 Off
• Team 2 Batting, Team 3 Fielding, Team 1 Off
• Team 3 Batting, Team 1 Fielding, Team 2 Off
