Inclusive Scatterball Festival 2023

27th June 2023

The Merton Borough Inclusive Scatter-ball festival took place on Monday 26th June 2023 at the superb facilities of Perseid Upper School, Middleton Road.

16 teams from 12 primary schools took part with up to 8 pupils per team all eager to do their best for teammates.

Scatter-ball is an exciting variation of rounders where the batting or sending team have 3 objects to scatter before attempting to run around four bases. It is the job of the fielding team to collect those objects and return them to the hoop to prevent more points being scored. It is great introduction to rounders but also fun in itself to enable pupils of all abilities to develop key skills in movement, striking and throwing as well as enjoy competitive team based activity.

Thank you to the following schools for facilitating your teams to take part:

Perseid Lower, Poplar x 4, Abbotsbury x 2, Cricket Green, Priory, Liberty, Links, Merton Abbey, Sacred Heart, Hillcross, St Marks, Jospeh Hood

Thanks also to Tina and Jamie to all the Perseid staff for hosting the event and for the use of the space, not only on this occasion but for others throughout the year too including the dance festival.

We’re already looking forward to more inclusive activities and festivals in 2023/24
