Players split into 4 groups, 2 front and 2 back. Make them as even as possible and have your wicketkeepeer ready. Coach hits ball out between either the front groups or back groups. Players in the front groups attack the ball and pass the ball to the other person in the front who is waiting at the single stump. Person at single stump throws into the keeper. If ball is hit to back groups a catch or pick up is needed from the back groups. Once one of the players at back has the ball they throw it into the keeper. If they are unable to throw that far throwing to the single stump is also acceptable All four groups are involved and requrie players swaping over sides after their turn.
Communication is key! There should be a lot of it. Everyone has to be focused on the ball. Make sure that someone is at the single stump even if the ball goes to the back.
