Bowling Game

For the final part of the session, the player will play a bowling game. Firstly, the coach must make sure the pitch length is correct for the age of the player. Once the pitch length as been set, stumps need to be placed at either end of the wicket and a line of disk markers need to run down from middle stump from one end of the wicket to the other. Once that has been completed, the coach needs to place the foam target on the top of off stump. Once the pitch has been set up, the coach will then explain the game and the number of points available for hitting various targets. They are as follows: - If the ball spins it's intended direction = 15 points For a Right Handed leg spinner, If the ball lands on the right hand side of the line and spins across to the left hand side of the line = 20 points If the ball hits the stumps = 5 points If the ball hits the foam target = 10 points If the player manages to combine any of the above in one ball, add them both together The player will bowl a total of 12 balls and once that's been completed, the coach will make a note of how points the player has achived. Once that's noted down, the challenge for the player is to beat it. Regardless of the result, the coach should be very enourgaging throughout the game and coniture to focus on the spin being the key element to the session rather than anything else. The player should hear lots of 'good try' 'well done' 'great delivery' 'lots of turn on that delviery' and any other enougaging comments
