Cricket: keeping

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.

What are the best cricket coaching tips and games for kids aged 5 and 6. I am starting coaching this year and want to help keep 30 5 and 6 year olds happy and enthused for an hour or two each Sunday

What techniques can I show my son to get him to improve his bowling speed? He did quite well last year, but seems to be battling to find the same rhythm and pace this year.

I'm having trouble in stepping up to spinners and driving through the line.sometimes I play it well but sometimes it goes in the air so I would like to know some sort of drill which would help me to play along the ground .and my coach tells me my head is not still when playing the shot and I'm not transferring my weight efficiently

I am going to be taking on my first serious school coaching role at under 15B level. My number one priority will be setting the right tone during the intro session to get the season of to the right start. Do you have any tips? Thanks and best wishes, Luke K.

When does everyone start their pre-season training? I'm concsious my players want/need a break after the season but equally believe the winter is the best time to improve technically.

Why do some batters collapse their back leg when driving off front foot. How do you stop it?

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!

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.
