Good bowling action:

Knees bent, ball released inside the square and shoulders and hip in line.

Look for a good pendulum motion when bowling. The ball should reach the recipient between knee and the top of their head height, otherwise it will be classed as a no ball.

Bowling

Bowling at a left hander:

When a right hander bowls towards a left hander it is important that the bowler moves to the edge of the bowling square.

Bowling

Batting Technique:

Players work in fours with one batter, one bowler and two fielders.

The basic structure of this drill is that the ball is bowled to the batter who has to try and hit the ball.

To improve hand-eye coordination there are 3 stages to this drill.

Firstly the batting player should hit the ball with their hand (or yellow hand CP where available), then with a paddle bat and lastly a rounders bat.

Batting

Batting control:

Four players working with 1 ball and 1 bat.

One of the 3 players throws the ball at the batter who has to tap the ball back to any of the 3 players so they can catch the ball and throw the ball back again.
