This week's session has been designed to introduce controlled throwing and catching to your younger players who are still learning and developing their core cricketing skills.
One of the major challenges facing youth coaches is keeping your youngsters engaged throughout - you might have lots of knowledge to impart on your players but if they're not paying attention it's going to fall on deaf ears!
What's in the session?
To ensure your youngsters stay switched on throughout this core skills session we open with a fast, skills development warm up. Once your players have been initiated into the session, we then move onto a series of games which will challenge your players' competitive side, whilst also working on their catching and throwing consistency.
As a final treat (as long as everyone's worked hard) we finish with a fun final game of Kwik Cricket. So jump to it and work on your players' core skills today!
