There are several pieces of equipment required in order to play stoolball.
Stools
A minimum of two stools are required. The stools can be any working stool that can be sat upon in relative comfort by the players. A milking stool is ideal. I intend to post a simple pattern for a milking stool on here.
Bat
Bat can be anything made of wood that is no wider than 18 inches and no longer than 48 inches (that's right stick jocks, your swords count as a bat). The handle and back (if it has a back) of the bat can have other materials such as leather, but the striking surface can only be wooden (although covered with paint or duck tape is acceptable).
Balls
The balls are leather and stuffed with wool scraps. I intend to post a pattern here ASAP. |

Object:
The object of the game is to score as many runs as possible. To do this the team at bat must hit the ball thrown underhand by the fielding teams bowler, when they do so they can run from the batting line to the base stool(s) and then back to the home stool, the batter can then run back around the base stool(s) and back to home if they have not been called out (how to call out a batter will be covered in its own section below). The fielding teams objective is to get the batter out before they score runs. Fielders do NOT use baseball gloves. By tradition stoolball is a co-ed game, women and men play together.
