whats the top 3 warm ups for cricket
I don't play cricket very often.. generally only during summer for 3-4 months. That's the only time I can practice as it's cold for 6-7 months in midwest US. <br /><br />How can I avoid swollen fingers while catching? How to get myself confident of catching and not be afraid of hurting?
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.
hi how to train a u10 boy to take reflex catches
Hi...just looking for suggestions as to which would be good indoor fielding drills to mix up indoor net sessions. We'll probably have half a sports hall with max 20 players - mixed abilities. Cheers
What is a good game / drill to have setup at the start of a session so players can join in when they arrive (players arriving in drive/drabs/different times)? we usually have the cricket hockey game but can get a bit messy when no bibs etc.

I want to use your session panner to build a series of lessons to train Year 3/4 non-cricketers. I want to start with catching. I have found drills I like and have saved to the clipboard. I have made a new session called catching in the planner but dont know how to get stuff off he clipboard and into the session plan.

Dropped sitters, overstepping no-balls and mixed-up calls: the early-season nightmares haunting club sides, and the fixes that banish them for good.
The new Laws of Cricket are in force from 1 October 2026 and the 'bunny hop' boundary catch is gone. Here is how to coach your fielders to catch on the rope this winter.
The covers are on and the last tea has been served. What your club does between now and April decides how the next season starts. Here is a simple, honest winter plan for players, bowlers and juniors.

Thank you sportplan I hope to continue to use your helpful tips and to learn more about improving my teams netball skills. Thanks again....keep it up....
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.
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.
I can't get enough of the Sportplan, It has given me back the enthusiasm i was starting to lose. My girls are so keen and are ready at 14 to take the next up in their game. Sportplan will help no end.
