This Sportplan Session celebrates the fine game that is cricket by looking at the most popular form of spin - off-spin bowling - designed to improve your players' control of the red cherry.
This session is highly flexible and can be used as an introduction to the off-spin bowl or with more experienced players as a way of continuing to improve their technique. This spinning special is that it can be used with large groups, making sure everyone is involved, having fun and learning.
When bowling an off-break delivery the ball will turn from the off side to the leg side when bowled at a right-handed batsman. The spin itself is generated by the first and second fingers of the right hand.
The more revolutions you can put on the ball, the better chance you have of getting creating a difficult bounce for the opposition batsman.
