Cricket: Cone Touch Catching

• Cones are set out as a gate, in the point fielding position and extra cover fielding position.
• Players split into 2 groups in each of the gates.
• Coach will position themselves at the strikers end stump with a bat. 
• Coach will serve himself and strike a ball towards the point or extra cover gate. 
• Receiving player will catch or gather the ball, return it to the coach and join the back of the queue.
• This drill can be played as a competition, coach vs players. For every clean catch or gather, the players receive a point and for every misfield, the coach will receive a point.

The player at the front of the 2 players runs to the middle to collect the ball on the cone and roll it to the player on the opposite side.

This player collects the ball and runs to the middle to put the ball on the cone.

The next player then runs to collect the ball and rolls the ball for next player waiting.

For this game you need two teams of between 6-10 players on each side.

One team tries to see how many catches they can do in a specified time, whist the other team sees how many people they can get to run around the cone and back.
