Thanks to Sportplan and their coaching tips, I can now coach with greater confidence and enthusiasm.
I am Fast Outswinger Bowler. I can naturally swing out and in, but I mostly bowl out swinger. My Main problem is that I am not able to consistently keep my line and length for my complete spell. I need help to learn the line and length consistency.
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.

Ask a question and have it answered by Coaches from around the world and Sportplan's team of Experts.
how do you practice your batting skills,by the way ive done cricket for just over a year now but I haven't been on top of my cricket skills as much as ive also had other commitements such as karate and aslo I had a fondness for badminton during the last winter so the only time I trainedwas really the last years seaon but the traing I did was self made and was in the park as my school cricket team cant really afford enough equipment to train the rest of the team (The team is makeshift by the way).all I did in the park was bowling to my friend who would devlop his batting skills by just tying to find a way of hitting the ball so this is th e reason why im asking you first how can I develop my batting skills and secondly what drills do you do individually and as a team which makes you and your players good?
