The players score by running around the four bases on the field. The game is popular among Irish and British school children. Gameplay centres around a number of innings , in which teams alternate at batting and fielding. A maximum of nine players are allowed to field at any time. Points (known as 'rounders') are scored by the batting team when one of their players completes a circuit past four bases without being put 'out'.

Tennis Academy Overview by Head Coach, Simon Bentley

The Tennis Academy at Shrewsbury this year has been packed with a variety of students from complete beginners through to National standard players. I believe this year has had the highest number of elite players in Discovery Summer’s history. Training consisted of technical and tactical drills covering all the major shots, match practice and video analysis. At the end of every week a group tournament was held. The results are as follows; Week 2: Group 1 Winner-Alexandre Szturma Group 2 Winner-Vartan Seferyan Week 3: Group 1 Winner-Anastasia Artamonova Group 2 Winner-Fabian Osslund Group 3 Winner-Roxane Diesing Week 4: Group 1 Winner- Anastasia Artamonova Group 2 Winner-Marc Zieger All of the players were very keen and showed great enthusiasm to develop their skills. This years academy has proven to be a worthwhile experience for both players and coaches. Thank you to all involved!
