Thanks to Sportplan and their coaching tips, I can now coach with greater confidence and enthusiasm.
hello sir, I am a left handed batsmen I face problems in playing the ball of leg side and short pitch ball. so please tell me some tips for playing the ball of leg side and short pitch ball
What is the best method/drills to make some runs on the onside? Youngster scored back to back tons with 90% on the off side?
what exercise should be made to ball as quick as possible(maximum quick)?I am a good fast bowling all rounder, but i have 5.7" height, should i go as a fast bowler in future with this height?
what drills i can do with my 9 years old boy to develop god pull shot?
I am trying to improve my Leg side game and wondering if anyone has some tips and drill that i could do when improving the shots that are played on the leg side (Flick, On drive, Pull, hook, Straight drive, Slog sweep, sweep, Leg glance) and other leg side mistakes
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!!
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.
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.
