One of the major challenges facing youth coaches is keeping your youngsters engaged throughout a session - you might have lots of knowledge to impart but if your players are not paying attention it's going to fall on deaf ears!
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 (also known as Kanga cricket in Australia). 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.
