Aussie T-Ball Game Diamond Set Up
Setting up a diamond (as per the field description on page 4)
for a game of Aussie T-Ball is very easy. Simply:
1. Place the home base plate on the ground and walk fifteen
(15) metres on an angle, similar to a diamond shape as shown
in the field description, and place first base on the ground.
2. Continue to place second and third base, fifteen (15) metres
apart, on the ground to make up your field.
3. The pitching plate is to be placed on the ground ten (10) metres
from home base, in between home and second base
(as per diagram).
