This session focuses on your players spin bowling, getting them to turn the ball effectively and improve the overall flight and length of their bowling.
Hitting a good line and length
All young spinners should be taught to hit a good line and length first, and then encouraged to spin the ball as much as possible.
To give your players an idea of what sort of line they should be bowling set up mini-gates (using stumps) to the left/ right of the wicket for your players to bowl through - aiming to impart enough spin on the ball to make it deviate back towards the wicket(note the area to land the ball will change depending on what spin your bowler is practising).Keep the Batsman Guessing
It's important for your bowlers not to become predictable, and a spinners ultimate aim is to deceive the batter with variations in speed, flight and spin off the pitch.As your players progress they will learn to do this by putting as much spin on the ball as possible, making the ball 'drift' and 'loop' so when it lands it deviates and bounces at varying heights, making it difficult for the opposition's batsman to hit.
