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.
How do I start the coaching with 8 year old kids
how do i prepare a 5 minute warm up for a batting session
I am currently handling 4 ages groups for the coming season. How do I plan and organize the sessions for the 4 ages groups to ensure maximum fun, participation, engagement and learning.
Im coaching an under 9's team ( GOD HELP ME!) and all though i have played extensively i have not coached such a young team before. Can anyone advise on a training plan designed for beginners / young players. Some ideas on how to make it fun and keep them interested would be great... thanks in advance.
looking for one or two interesting drills/games for 9/10 year olds who have never played cricket, to introduce them to the game without overwhelming them with complexity and losing their interest
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!
Some fielding drills for large groups
Does anyone have any good drills or game based learning on the back foot drive for 11 year olds?
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.
A bowling change can dismantle a partnership, halt a run surge, or hand the match back to the batting side. This article explores how modern captains use match phases, matchup data, and rhythm signals to time their changes, with a practical framework coaches can use to develop tactical thinking in young captains at club and age-group level.
T20 data shows that teams bowling 40 or more dot balls win more than 65 per cent of matches. Strike rotation is now the most undervalued skill in batting. This article breaks down why singles matter more than sixes, the soft-hands and crease-depth techniques behind elite rotators, and a coaching framework to train relentless ones and twos under pressure.
Pre-season is the best time to rebuild and refine batting technique without the pressure of match results. This article covers the fundamental batting positions that underpin consistent run-scoring, provides a progressive session framework from shadow batting to live bowling, and highlights the common pre-season mistakes that coaches should avoid.

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.
