Get them to watch each bowler on their team and then drawn a circle in chalk where it pitches. Then get them to call for themselves what they are going to aim for use maximum energy to get it that high. Create cones and targets on wall competition between teams to win game out of it.
Increase speed energy to release point continue through delivery. Release point Maximum energy to increase pace, bounce. Not worried about length.
