Ground fielding and throwing

Ground fielding drill:

Two teams pass the ball to their team mates with an overarm throw which must bounce only once and then must be caught.

Using the throws to advance towards the opposition's grid players must not step inside the grid. When they get close enough they can throw at the stumps. If they miss a team mate can run around the back of the stumps to catch the ball.

If caught that team can have another shot, if the opposition catch the ball they then move back up the field to the opposition's grid.

Short catching / Underarm throwing:

The fielder behind the stumps rolls the ball out, player 2 picks up the ball and throws over the top of the stumps to the fielder behind the stumps.

The process is repeated until player 5 goes who then continues their run to replace the player behind the stumps.

Catching:

For this game you need two teams of between 6-10 players on each side.

One team tries to see how many catches they can do in a specified time, whist the other team sees how many people they can get to run around the cone and back.
