Thanks to Sportplan and their coaching tips, I can now coach with greater confidence and enthusiasm.
What will you suggest to get a perfect runup for a bowler ? I am having trouble with my bowling rythm for unstable runup??? I find it really hard some time to deliver the ball on right landing. also how can i improve the speed of my bowling?
I have some juniors who are hopping on their final delivery stride. Is there a drill to correct this and improve fluency of the delivery stride?

I bowl too much short bowls and full toss bowls how to aboid them?
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!
What is optimal length of a junior coaching session? Debate is 11/2 hours or 2 (midweek evening!)?
...where it will list and describe playing terminology such as shave, tackle-back, steal, forehand.
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
At Claremont School we are using Sportplan to assist us with our coaching and keeping Juniors busy. We are trying to get students practicing at home and challenging each other. The challenge is bat taps with one hand for 1 minute. My score was 136, can you get your players to beat this score!? Video proof needed if they do!
Hi, I have been asked to do an outdoor 30 minute session for 12 children, mixed ability and without knowing the children in advance. Would you advise to do a feilding session instead of batting and bowling? I need to yteach the skilla and use it in a game scenario. Thanks

Any advise to stop my 13year old from bowling beamers, getting the ball down to the right level. Child is 1.7 m tall if this has any impacy at all.
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
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!!
