This week's session has been designed to introduce controlled throwing and catching to your younger players who are still learning and developing their core cricketing skills.
One of the major challenges facing youth coaches is keeping your youngsters engaged throughout - you might have lots of knowledge to impart on your players but if they're not paying attention it's going to fall on deaf ears!
What's in the session?
To ensure your youngsters stay switched on throughout this core skills session we open with a fast, skills development warm up. Once your players have been initiated into the session, we then move onto a series of games which will challenge your players' competitive side, whilst also working on their catching and throwing consistency.
As a final treat (as long as everyone's worked hard) we finish with a fun final game of Kwik Cricket. So jump to it and work on your players' core skills today!
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
