Cricket: Bound Run & Bowl

Description

• Get a resistance band and put around the player's waist
• Coach stands behind the player whilst they run towards the crease, pulling for resistance
• Player drives forward and bowls towards the wicket whilst resistance is applied
• Take off the band once bowled and quickly bowl again without resistance
• For progression and to stop players pulling to the off side, add resistance to bowlers off side to straighten the approach
• Player does six bowling motions against resistance. Then take off the band and bowl without resistance

Coaching points

• Get the player to work harder to stay inline, maintain momentum, and drive through the crease
• Power the arms through on approach
• Maintain a strong running technique
• Focus on the process and technique over the outcome
