Elite Players |
Rounders is played across the UK in many regions and counties where there are thriving leagues for both junior and adult play. Rounders provides the opportunity for communal play as our rules allow for mixed age and gender in a team. Rounders is an ideal sport to help establish links with returnees to sport, to clubs and to communities where participants can progress at their own pace. Rounders is a game of fun for families and friends! |
Talk to anybody about Rounders and it brings a smile, revisiting memories of a fun, mixed and appealing sport that they played at School.
But Rounders is not just for Schools. Rounders is currently experiencing a surge in adult participation through the many clubs and leagues based around the country.
Whether you reach 1st post or 4th post, it is easy for people of any age and any ability to return to Rounders through taster sessions, STAR centres, festivals and the new game of Indoor Rounders making it possible to play Rounders all year round.
