Rounders: Combination Drill

Change your players preconceptions and get them excited about fielding with this week's fast paced session - developing catching, hand-eye coordination and throwing skills

In 3s or 4s one closer player puts a name on the ball and the other fielder backs up behind.

Player who made the call decides either long barrier or short pick up to get the ball in quickly

For this practice you need 8 players per group. Set out 4 cone in a square about 5 metres apart. Set out 2 flags a further 5 - 10 metres away from the square . and finally a finishing post. The race is for the runner to beat the ball being thrown via every gold player to the finishing post.

Post person calls a number or colour cone, worker runs around that cone, feeder passes the ball in and passes it to the post player

CP eye on the ball, set yourself before you catch and then release with body weight moving towards the target. Development – add a runner who can put pressure on the post player.

Players stand in a circle with 1 or 2 balls (there are 2 in the video).

They have to throw the ball to each other and every time one of them makes a mistake they have to drop down on one knee.

On the second mistake they have to drop down onto both knees and with the third mistake they are out.

Who will be the last player standing/ kneeling?
