Designed for groups large and small, this session works on more than simply getting players to strike the stumps with the ball for a run out - it also aims to develop and improve players' overarm throwing technique, improving consistency and confidence to ensure the ball reaches its intended target - whether that target be the stumps or a team-mate!
By practising these throwing exercises in training you can help players to remain focused, and not panic, when looking for the run out!
To get this session off to a flying start we start with a pairs throwing exercise, getting players to focus on their technique (strong throwing base, front arm aiming at the target and holding the ball along the seam) before introducing the stumps - starting with a low pressure throwing exercise and gradually increasing the intensity to truly test your players' throwing accuracy!
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
