Rounders England Sport England to undertake a project focussing on the inactive population. We know that Rounders is an ideal game for people who are inactive, or have become inactive due to circumstances, as they can easily pick it up, whatever their level, age and gender. Our new branding ‘WE ARE ALL ROUNDERS’ is fresh, vibrant and a better reflection of how Rounders is perceived by our customers. Our new branding portrays Rounders as a cross- generational, cross gender game that embraces all abilities. It’s a game that’s all about sociability, about connecting with people in an age where screens separate generations and are replacing real and meaningful interactions. Never has there been a more exciting time to play Rounders! With over 21,000 adults and almost every schoolchild playing at the end of 2016, we now look forward as the National Governing Body at creating a first class membership service and connecting people through Rounders.
