Rounders: double cover behind the post

1. Approach the ball at speed and as you get into line with the ball, twist your upper body, leading with the shoulder furthest from the ball.
2. Bend both knees, so that the knee of the leg nearest to the ball touches the ground, but it is also next to the back of the heel of the other leg.
3. With fingers down and head forward, pick up the ball and then stand back up ready to deliver an overarm throw.

This is a relay for players to learn to react to balls that don't come directly towards them.

In Groups of 4, with one feeder and 3 players stood in a line players take it in turns to run out and react to the ball that's been thrown wide of them.

Once the ball's been thrown fielders must run out and gather the ball, before then throwing it back to the feeder and running to the back of the line, waiting for their next turn.

Organise a group as shown in the diagram.

On the coach's command of "Yes" the batsman (white player) runs up and down between the 2 posts.

At the same time players in team B (blue players) throw and catch the ball to each other.

As the batsman completes their 2nd run the next batsman sets off.

Count the total number of catches made when the last better completes their final run.

Players work in groups of four.

With one feeder and one fielder stood on a post, with another two players backing up behind the post player, in a triangle formation.

The fielder throws the ball to the post players for them to catch. Every time the ball is thrown the backing up players should get behind the post player, ready to stop the ball in case the player misses the catch.

After 10 throws each players rotate in a clockwise direction.
