This week's session helps your players get started when at the crease when looking to build a big score.
As almost any batsman will tell you, the hardest part of batting is getting started, especially scoring that all important first run. It?s important when batting to get your players confident as quick as possible and playing all the right shots.
That's why we get your players to score more singles to take the pressure off their shoulders at the start of their innings - as well as trying to get young players out of the 'four or nothing' mindset of batting!
