Create a mini-pitch for every two players. In the picture there are 4 pairs and 4 pitches.
Players must try and throw and catch the ball a set number of times consecutively, without making a mistake.
Every time they drop the ball they should start counting from 1 again.
The set number and distance between players depends on their ability.
When a pair reaches the set number (say 5 for beginners) the pair can move to the next pitch and the players on that pitch move down (both pairs start from 1 again).
The pair on the top pitch (pitch 4) have to try and get as many consecutive throws and catches while they are on this pitch.
Start off with a ball per player and get them to throw the ball in the air( above their head) and catch the ball.
Once all the players can do this move on to this practice.
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
