To get all your players practising their bowling we open this week's session with a couple of small group drills to make sure everyone gets lots of bowling practice - challenge your more confident players to experiment with putting spin on the ball! Boost your bowlers' confidence with plenty of practise, and get them to mix up their deliveries to become less predictable to the opposition!
Bowling a good ball:
A good ball should reach the batsman between knee and the top of their head, otherwise it will be classed as a no ball (also known as a bad ball).
According to the UK National Rounders Association "You gain 1/2 a rounder for 2 no balls in a row to the same batter" so there's a clear incentive to get the technique right!"
"It is not only useful for staff who are experienced but a valuable tool for those subject staff who have to take teams."
The variety of sessions across sports - sometimes we steal session ideas from one sport and use them with another.
As we enter the business end of the competition, we take a look at the remaining eight teams and the key talking points surrounding each side.
