I am looking at starting my own cricket academy and I am looking for a few ideas anyone care to share
I usually spend a few overs to start my rhythm, but how do I start my first bowling spell in a match? What are the techniques, for example bowling and running speed?
i bowl medium pace. when i start my bowling, during the first over i feel a sharp temporary pain in my palms after each bowl. Is there a warm up i can use for it?
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.
please give me some tips for off break bowling to i improve my bowling skills
When I'm batting I get's very tight means my body get's very tight because of that I can't play drives smoothly.How can I keep my body relax ?Give the tips or exercise to be flexible and relax while playing.

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.

A bowling change can dismantle a partnership, halt a run surge, or hand the match back to the batting side. This article explores how modern captains use match phases, matchup data, and rhythm signals to time their changes, with a practical framework coaches can use to develop tactical thinking in young captains at club and age-group level.
T20 data shows that teams bowling 40 or more dot balls win more than 65 per cent of matches. Strike rotation is now the most undervalued skill in batting. This article breaks down why singles matter more than sixes, the soft-hands and crease-depth techniques behind elite rotators, and a coaching framework to train relentless ones and twos under pressure.
Pre-season is the best time to rebuild and refine batting technique without the pressure of match results. This article covers the fundamental batting positions that underpin consistent run-scoring, provides a progressive session framework from shadow batting to live bowling, and highlights the common pre-season mistakes that coaches should avoid.
