For the main activity we will split into 3 groups and focus on all aspects of cricket. Bowling, Batting and Fielding. Group 1 "Rock N Bowl" ML to lead This drill replicates bowling with momentum rather than coaching a static skill. Firstly set the bowlers up side on to the targert with the non bowling arm facing the target. The bowler should hold the ball with both hands just under their neck and should begin to rock. (Shift weight from one foot to the other while bringing the other foot into the air. (Coach to demonstrate). The bowler should then extend both arms with the non bowling arm going down to face the ground and the bowling arm extending up high. The bowler shopuld not release the bowl and should continue to practice this until they feel comfortable. When comfortable they can start to release the ball at "12 o`clock". The bowler should be aiming to hit a square of cones down their specific lane and another player should be at the other side to retrieve the ball, then using the same skills and technique bowl it back to their partner. scores can be kept for example how many times the get the ball into the square or how many the team can get in a specific time frame.
