Hi Coach,

Here's a great drill for you to start with. It allows your players to get moving and have a feel for the ball before the match.

Hope this helps.

Warm up drill

Description:

Using a set of cricket wickets or posts. Roll the ball along the ground to a team mate. You can run with the ball, but the ball must be rolled along the ground.

 

Aim to hit the stumps (approach from any side of the square)in the opposition square, using an underarm flick. The square is made up of cones, distance 5-8 metres from the stumps.
No fielders at any time are allowed inside the square. The ball is never out of bounds, as there are no boundaries.

Coaching Points:

Introduce 2 balls

Change throwing and passing criteria on whistle.
