  • 10-inch rubber kickball  
  • 4 baseball bases 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Visit the World Kickball Association website and become familiar with the rules of kickball.  
  2. Keep the rules simple and adjust the distance of the kickball field so Cub Scouts can compete. 
  3. Identify a space clear of obstacles and hazards to lay out the kickball field. 
  4. Layout the kickball field using baseball bases. 
  5. If the kickball field you are using is not at your regular meeting location, send a reminder to all parents, legal guardians, and adult partners in the den about the date, time, and location of the den meeting. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather Cub Scouts and adult partners and divide them into two teams, keeping adult partners together with their Cub Scouts.   
  2. Ask Cub Scouts why following rules in a game is important.  Ask Cub Scouts which points of the Scout Law they should follow when they are playing a game and why. 
  3. Review the rules to kickball and how to score, rules are like baseball. 
  4. To begin, one team will be in the outfield and the other will be the kicking team. 
  5. A member of the outfield team is the pitcher and begins the game by rolling the ball to the first kicker on the kicking team. 
  6. Once the kicker kicks the ball, they run around the bases in order. 
  7. If the ball lands in the foul zone, the kicker must try again, and the foul will count as a strike. 
  8. If the ball is caught without touching the ground the kicker is out. 
  9. When running bases, a kicker can be out if they are touched with the ball while it is in the hands of an opposing team member when they are off the base. 
  10. You may not throw the kickball at someone to get them out.  
  11. A team gets three outs before the team switches to the outfield. 
  12. The team with the most points
