What is strike and fielding?

Answer 1

• The main concept behind striking/fielding games is that when you are on offense you are striking an object (example: batting in Baseball), and when you are on defense you are fielding an object (example: throwing the ball in cricket).
• Players can only score on offense by hitting a specified object into open area, and then advancing to designated areas(PlaySport [PS], no date).
• Players on defense will attempt to stop the offense from scoring by catching the object while it is in the air before it hits the ground or by retrieving the object and bringing it to the specified area before the offensive player gets there (PS, no date).
• Tracking, player will have to predict the path of the object in play (whether it be a Baseball,cricket ball. ect) in attempt to hinder the progress of their opponents.
• One of the most common striking/fielding games is baseball. Other variations include games such as cricket, slow-pitch, 3 pitch, soccer baseball, tennis baseball, rounders, lob ball, and many others.
• Striking/fielding games are an excellent way to teach fundamental skills such as catching, throwing, running and striking(Butler et.al., 2003. pg. 29).
