Speed play - Collect, Turn and Throw!

When fielding you're often chasing the ball down; it's rare for the ball to fall directly into your hands. To help your players practice chasing down the ball this session works on running after rolling balls, picking it up cleanly and the turn and throw!

The turn and throw is a single complex movement which can save your fielding players a couple of valuable seconds and help to get more batting players out. However, there are three aspects to this skills and it's important they're all performed correctly - collect, turn and throw - otherwise the throw can miss its intended target and gift the other team some extra runs!

To work on increasing the speed of your fielders this session progresses through a series of catching and collecting drills, allowing your players to push themselves and work on their fielding technique before finishing with a full pitch game!
