Cricket: Off Spin

Thanks to Sportplan and their coaching tips, I can now coach with...
Horatius, Cricket Coach

DESCRIPTION

Exercise for two teams against each other trying to score the most points. All players must throw the ball under arm and are not allowed to run with the ball.

To score the ball must bounce in the small square and then caught by one of their team mates on the opposite side before it bounces again to get the point.

Low Catches - Multi Ball:

** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON **

  • Drill can work with a mininum of 3 players and 1 feeder.
  • Can add more pairs sharing catches if you have more numbers.
  • Coach/feeder will use the ramp to send 4 consecutive catches to a player opposite.
  • Inbetween that, players will pair up and swap catches whilst the coach is sending the 4 catches.
  • Players rotate once the 4 catches have been taken.

Ground fielding and throwing
Long barrier penalties | Ground fielding and throwing

Long barrier penalties:

Pairs stand 3 to 4 metres apart between a pair of cones (their goal).

By throwing the ball underarm, below waist height, players must try to get the ball through their opponent's cones.

Players score a point every time their opponent either drops the ball or fails to prevent it passing between their cones.

The wicket keeper feeds the ball straight out, along the ground, to the fielders who take it in turns to retrieve the ball.

Player's who run from the wicket-keeper's left should throw the ball back to the keeper with their left-hand and those from the right throw with their right-hand.
