Pupils should be able to explain the role of the umpire:-
1. Two on field umpires 4. Square leg umpire judges stumpings and run outs
2. One at the bowler’s end, one at square leg 5. At the end of each over (the umpire counts the 6 balls), the umpires change
position.
3. Bowler’s end umpire makes decisions on lbw appeals, no balls, wides and leg
byes. 6. The umpires indicate no balls, byes, leg byes, wides, boundaries and sixes to the
scorers, who keep a running total of the runs scored.

GOLD – 6
SILVER – 4-5
BRONZE – 2-3

Split the group into 4 teams of around 7-8 players and set up 4
equal size boxes for the teams to stand in.
Players may throw the ball underarm from their box into any other
box. If their throw does not make a box, the thrower is out and has
to leave the square. If their throw is accurate, a player inside the
box must make a catch. If the ball hits the ground inside the box the
nearest player, or the one who dropped the catch, must leave the
