Rounders: Rounders Golf

Your mission, if you wish to accept it, is to improve your players' overarm throwing to lump the pressure on the batters. Skills covered in this session include developing the technique, to throwing to a target before throwing to space and distance.

After the first player has thrown the ball to the player next to them, they have to run all the way around to try and get back to their starting position before the ball does.

5 players 4 balls. Player in the middle receives the ball from one of the players and returns it then turns to the next player and repeats this 3 times round all 4 players.

Simple throw and run race, from the starting cone to the finish cone (drill is ended when a player stumps the cone).

Teams of 4 (or more) players stand in a line, with the first player with the ball in hand. On the coach's call the first player turns and throws the ball to the next player.

Once the ball has been thrown this player runs to the back of the line, awaiting their next turn to catch and throw.

The winning team is the first one to reach cone B.

Set up:

Players work in group of 6 or 8 (there are 5 players in the video but this drill works better when in groups of 6 or 8).

The drill:

One player feeds whilst the other players run towards the feeder.

1. The first player in line runs out and ducks underneath the ball.
2. The next player then runs out and catches the ball.
3. After ducking or catching players should continue to run towards the feeder and then to the back of the line (the player who makes the catch should throw the ball back to the feeder).
