PE Games: Batting Tee & Fielding Practice

ou need a fair amount of equipment to have students practice hitting off a ball off a tee. You need 5 to 6 batting tees. You could use larger 18 inch cones as tees. 5 to 6 foam baseball bats, 5 to 6 high bounce foam balls and cones. I color code the equipment to make it easy for students to know their groups color.
Place the tees on one side of the gym spread out from each other. Place a bat and ball by each tee. The remaining players will stand behind a line on the opposite side of the gym. A large cone will be placed in the center of the gym for each group. Have one hitter by the tee and one outfielder stand by the cone in the center. The remaining players wait behind a taped line on the opposite side of the gym.
The activity starts when the Hitting player by the tee swings the bat and hits the ball off the tee. Teach them to place the bat on the ground and run and touch their team’s colored cone in the middle of the gym. The player waiting for the ball to be hit, the outfielder, should field the ball and run it and place it back on the tee. The outfielder now becomes the hitter. The hitter goes to the end of the outfielder line and the next player in line moves up to become the next outfielder.
Play for several minutes and allow students to get several hits off the tee.
