Split the teams into groups of three of four. Each team has two cones forming a wide goal (5m or so) that they need to defend. The aim of the game is to try and get the ball past the defending team and through your opponents goal. As the aim of the session has been wicket keeping the throw has to bounce infront of the defending team. Getting the ball through the cones equal one point.
Each player should be in the discussed 'ready' position before each throw. Lateral movements along the goal line, trying to gt out body behind the ball not coming forward or back. Watching the ball all the way into our hands, cushion the ball.
