Cricket: batting and bowling

How do I start the coaching with 8 year old kids

Does anyone have any batting or bowling skills assessment forms they could share? The purpose would be for providing feedback and agreeing major areas for development / improvement

How can i introduce cricket batting and bowling techniques to juniors and beginners aged 6-9?? Whilst still making it fun so that they enjoy it. Too many of the kids I teach still throw when they bowl and play across the line when they bat!

I'm coaching an u/14 cricket team and none of these boys have ever played the game let alone held a cricket bat. Help!!

I am preety short all rounder. In my batting i m facing diffiuclty of playing against the spinners and i can't play the leg sid balls the reason is that i m scare it might hit on my lower part of body. So any drills to solve this kind of problems?

I'm a good all rounder but I'm facing problems with my batting and bowling. First off, I don't have a good batting stance and technique. With my bowling, what should I bowl? I can bowl leg spin, off spin or fast.How can I improve both these areas?

do i have to keep my hands soft while i catch a ball

I ran a coaching session on Sunday where I took along a number of handwritten cards, from which the kids (U11s) could randomly choose "Super Over", "Bowl Off" or "Game Scenario". If they chose the latter, I had another set of cards they could choose from "Wicket Target", "Run Target", "Run Target - but boundaries don't count".Finally, they then draw from some more cards - runs (20-30), max wickets (1-3), overs (3-5).Each game scenario lasted around 10-20 mins, so in our session, we had time for about 4 or 5 scenarios. They appeared to enjoy it, but most of them said they wanted to bowl/bat individually for longer! Kids, eh?The idea behind these if to get them thinking about batting intelligently - rotating the strike, keeping the score ticking over, managing achievable run rates, etc. It's also a chance to give some of them some experience at captaining and having to make key decisions (bowling and batting order, how to place a field for different scenarios).Any ideas for variations I could try would be welcome. My session lasts for 2 hours including warm ups and any specific exercises I want to do beforehand.

Has anyone got any training idea's for coaching Cricket batting and bowling. Repeatedly bowling to the batsmen is getting monotonous

please give me some tips for off break bowling to i improve my bowling skills

how do you practice your batting skills,by the way ive done cricket for just over a year now but I haven't been on top of my cricket skills as much as ive also had other commitements such as karate and aslo I had a fondness for badminton during the last winter so the only time I trainedwas really the last years seaon but the traing I did was self made and was in the park as my school cricket team cant really afford enough equipment to train the rest of the team (The team is makeshift by the way).all I did in the park was bowling to my friend who would devlop his batting skills by just tying to find a way of hitting the ball so this is th e reason why im asking you first how can I develop my batting skills and secondly what drills do you do individually and as a team which makes you and your players good?

I’m wanting to plan a session for early years players (8yrs old) Can sportplan give me appropriate drills for this age group please Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

What type of chick up list is required before one to one batting /bowling sessions?

Hi I open the batting for my team and have been getting bowled a substantial amount of times more often then not early in the innings Generally a straight ball/ in swinging to the right hander.I am coming forward to it but seems to misjudge it and ball is generally going between bat and pad although I am thinking I have it covered. Take guard on middle and bat one foot in the crease.Thanks for your help Regards

Hi - I need to create a session plan (20 minutes) for an Attack or Defend Batting Game, where the child needs to make the decision depending on the delivery whether to attack or defend the ball. Approximately 8-10 children aged 10 and 11 - any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks. Anil
