Teaching batsmen patience

Our top order collapses regularly, how do we train batsmen to be patient and build an innings? we play 40 over 1 day cricket, our bowlers give us competitive totals to chase but the batsman can't seem to build an innings.

Ideas for Game Scenarios

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.

Hi Guys. I need to teach a cricket lesson to 40, 11 yr old students with a range of abilities in a sports hall. Need focus as well. I need them all continuosly engaged and all have the opportunity to learn and develop. At the moment i'm thinking starting with fielding games and making them competitive and them moving onto small group exercises of 3's or 4's focusing on one batting shot. I'm open to any ideas and any help of teaching 40 students at once? Thank you for your time and suggestions!

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.

Debbie Cross Australia

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
