Intensity and movement can be modified to suit location with in a session. Players run around the edge of the pitch, when they reach the first wicketa feeder or coach rolls the ball along the floor to the player to stop using a long barrier. This player then throws the ball underarm to a player that has just reached the next cone. This player throws the ball short to the player at the next cone so they too must use a long barrier to stop the ball. A final rol of the ball to a player stood behind the feeder at the wicket then stops the ball and places if in a bucket or hoop for the feeder. All the players follow their movement to the next cone and follow the circuit around.
This drill allows a coach to become a feeder giving you an excellent chance to work one on one with all your player ensuring a correct long barrier technique is performed. The pace of the circuit must also be maintained to ensure the movement on and off of the rolling balls is kept in sync.
