Rounders: Warm Up Grid - Sprint and Stretch

Using a set of cricket wickets or posts. Roll the ball along the ground to a team mate. You can run with the ball, but the ball must be rolled along the ground.

Aim to hit the stumps (approach from any side of the square)in the opposition square, using an underarm flick. The square is made up of cones, distance 5-8 metres from the stumps.
No fielders at any time are allowed inside the square. The ball is never out of bounds, as there are no boundaries.

This Drill is fun and will improve the accuracy of the players throwing the ball to a post in rounders.

2 teams lots of tennis balls and a larger ball (football).

The aim is for the players from within their area to try to roll the football to the other side by throwing the tennis balls against it.

Divide your players into two equal teams, one team fields while the other team bats.

The coach bowls the ball (underarm) to the batter who must catch the ball before then underarm throwing the ball into the field, instead of hitting the ball.

If a batter drops the ball they can only run to first base.

In order to get players out the batters can be stumped or caught out.

Split your players into two teams. The fielding side will need a bowler, a back stop and a player on first base. The rest of the fielders can stand where they like.

This game start with a bowl to the hands of the first batting player. The batting player should stand with open hands and catch the ball before throwing it into the fielding area.

After throwing the ball out the batting player runs around as many bases as they can.

Rules:

Players score a point for their team for every complete run they make. Players can be caught or run out in the normal manner.

Each player has two goes each before the teams swap around.
