DESCRIPTION

Cones are set out as a gate, in the point fielding position and extra cover fielding position.
Players split into 2 groups in each of the gates.
Coach will position themselves at the strikers end stump with a bat.
Coach will serve himself and strike a ball towards the point or extra cover gate.
Receiving player will catch or gather the ball, return it to the coach and join the back of the queue.
This drill can be played as a competition, coach vs players. For every clean catch or gather, the players receive a point and for every misfield, the coach will receive a point.

COACHING POINTS

Players should be walking into the gate and then set themselves ready for a catch when they see the coach about to hit the ball.
