Cricket: session

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.

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

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.

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!

I want to use your session panner to build a series of lessons to train Year 3/4 non-cricketers. I want to start with catching. I have found drills I like and have saved to the clipboard. I have made a new session called catching in the planner but dont know how to get stuff off he clipboard and into the session plan.

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 am about to run my club's frist junior training session of the year and doe anybody know any good ideas for drills or fun games with youngsters (aged between 6-10) who are absolute beginners to cricket?

Been looking over some of the weekly sessions and would like to use some of the drills they use in my session planner but can`t find them when I search for them in the Drill section. Any ideas

I'm currently using the Session planner, and would find it useful if i could change the colour of the text in certain areas. Is there any chance the editor is due an upgrade?

I need some help putting together a coaches training guide for my teamincluding a intro, warming up exercises, training drills and cooling down

i need to change my lesson plan saved

how do i send a session to an email or share session

How can I access session plans as only some are avaiable to view

how do I draw my own session plan

I've just done a whole session plan and was looking how to forward it on and noticed the "stop editing" option so pressed that and the session disappeared and hasn't even been auto saved. Is that normal?

How do. I add a drill to a session plan
