Rounders. It may lack the media profile of many larger sports and won’t benefit much from the saturation coverage of the Olympics either, but what it does have in spades is accessibility.
It’s fun for a wide range of ages and abilities to play together.
Easy to learn, easy to participate, it requires a variety of skills – catching, hitting, throwing, running and tactical savvy.
It’s playable in a variety of locations – from beaches to parks, campsites to disused tennis courts – and the kit’s portable too.
It’s also benefited from a new development in technology that looks set to change the face of the game.
Specialist brand Aresson has just launched the Dictator bat, endorsed by Rounders England, which will give those lucky enough to use it a real advantage over their opponents.
It’s simple really – the Dictator gives a lot of extra hitting power thanks to an aluminium band wrapped around its springy willow shaft.
The Dictator is a small but significant part of a complete rounders collection offered by Aresson, including a selection of bats, balls, kits/packs and other accessories.
