The back foot drive is one of the best looking shots a batsman will ever learn to play. It requires skill, poise and accuracy although none of this matters if your players don't know when to employ this point winning driving stroke. To help your players become better batsmen and know when to use this shot in game we've created this Back foot drive and Flat catching session.
Designed for training sessions with large numbers, this session starts with a gentle dynamic stretching and concentration warm up before moving onto a catching on the move drill, working on soft hands and hand-eye co-ordination. After this we then progress onto the technicalities of the back hand drive.
The back foot drive is the ideal shot to use to exploit space between the mid-off and cover, making the most of a high delivery to drive through the ball and reach the boundary. In this session your players will need fluid feet and good hand co-ordination. This truly is a beautiful shot that no player should be without, it's the Rolls Royce of the batting world.
In addition to all the batting practice it's also important to work on your players' catching! After all, Catches win matches!. To help you coach catching we're looking at catching flat balls as well as fielding the back foot drive shot, giving you as coach ample scope to work on your team's catching ability as well as your offensive strokes.
