Cricket: Cricket Rounders

Fun, games based session that works on your players' catching concentration as well as their batting and throwing accuracy!

When the drill is started both teams roll the ball to each other in the same direction (can be clockwise or anti-clockwise).

The aim of the game is for the ball from one team to overtake the ball from the other team.

11 fielders (including 1 bowler and wicket keeper), with 2 players batting and two padded up, waiting to bat.

The 2 batters have one over to chase the target score successfully.

If the players lose one wicket, they have 5 runs added to the required total. If they lose two wickets, they are both out.

Their first over target score is 6 runs, then if successful, this increases by 1 every over. (6, 7, 8 and so on...)

If players are unsuccessful in the run chase, they are out, and the next two batters come in.

Bowlers rotate ends they are bowling from and fielders should be encouraged to get between the overs quickly.

3 teams 1 ball 3 zones 2 teams in the outside zones throw the ball over the team in the middle zone to try and land the ball on the ground in the opposite end zone. If the they are successful they score a point but if the team in the middle intercept the ball the teams swap.

Scatter some cones (divots) across the area, some the right way up, and some upside down. Split the group into two teams - 'Hackers and Greenkeepers' - and spread them out across the area.

On the word 'Go' the Hackers run round turning the divots upside down and the Greenkeepers must turn them the right way up.
