Rounders: Set and Throw

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.

Teams of 4 try and throw the ball across a pitch as quickly as possible, not missing any players out.

The first team to throw the ball 10 times across the pitch is the winner.

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.

Player 2 throws the ball straight-up and player 1 has to run in and catch it before returning the ball back to player 2.

Player 1 continues to run around the cone before running back to receive another high feed from player 2.

On catching the ball player 1 takes up 2s original position before the next person in the queue starts.

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.
