Rounders England believes in the power of sport and the role it plays in society. The benefits for physical health and mental well-being are undeniable and evidence shows being active helps people live happier, healthier and more fulfilled lives.
The National Rounders Association was formed by a small group of teachers in 1943, with the primary aim of standardising the rules. By finding out about every area’s differing rules, it made it easier to draw up a standardised version of rounders. The Association continued in an entirely volunteer capacity to develop standardised rules, competitions, adult clubs, and to support school rounders development. In the mid 1970’s an England adult team was selected, and matches were played against Wales. Read more about the Rounders England journey.
