Yes. Sportplan's cricket session planner lets you pick drills from a library of 350+, add your own, and save, print or share the finished plan.
Yes. A template sets out the theme, warm-up, drills and a game for the time you have; Sportplan's planner fills one in with drills from its library.
Work on one skill at a time, start with throw-downs or feeds so players get lots of reps, then add pressure with a bowler or a small game across colts and senior sides alike.
Work on your run-up and release against a wall or into a net, focusing on a repeatable action rather than pace. Bowling into a target, such as a cone, builds line and length.
Shadow your shots in front of a mirror, hit a ball on a string or off a tee against a net or wall, and work on footwork without a bowler before facing throw-downs.
