Ground fielding and throwing

Long Barrier pair defending:

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.

Ground fielding and throwing

Pick up on turn and throw to run out station:

The batsman calls 'yes' to start the drill and tries to run 2 lengths whilst the fielder (player 1) runs out to meet the stationary ball, picks it up and throw it back to the wicket keeper (thus trying to run out the batter).

The coach decides which team has won and both players return to the back of their respective lines.

Drill continues in this way.
