Cricket: Long Barrier pair defending

Description

Two players per team, stood about 4-5 metres apart between two cones (the goal).

Both teams must try to protect their goals by stopping the opposition from throwing the ball through their goal.

Using only underarm throws players must try and score in their opponent's goal.

A goal is awarded every time their opponent either drops the ball or fails to prevent it passing between their cones.

Coaching points

Increase or decrease the distance between the two goals and the cones depending on how hard or easy you would like this drill to be for your players.
