Cricket: Back Foot Drive Game

Description

The Coach throws each player 3 balls which they should aim to hit towards the left or right target.

• If the ball is successfully hit towards the target the batting player must complete 2 runs.
• If a boundary is hit then the batsman gets another ball.
• If you leave the ball you get another ball.
• If you hit behind or outside the coned area you are out (or minus 4 runs)

Coaching points

To make this drill competitive each team has a number of wickets i.e. 4 wickets.

Everybody keeps batting until that team is bowled out.

If the ball is hit on the off side it must be thrown to the stumps on the off side. Likewise for the on-side (leg side).
