SKILL FOCUS: Stamina & fielding skills. EQUIPMENT: Marker cones and a tennis ball. WHAT TO DO: Setup: Place 4 marker cones in a square 20 meters apart. Playing the game: The learners will run clockwise around the 4 pillar cones. The teacher/coach will stand between cone 1 and 4 with a tennis ball. The coach will roll or bounce the ball for the learners between cone 2 and 3. When they are receiving the ball they need to field and through to the coach. Play the game a few minutes and then let them run anti-clockwise. You can place wickets next to you as the coach where they need to aim to through the wickets.
This is a easy game to develop skills in fielding and stamina. An awesome warmup game.
