Many of your players may not have played cricket for several months and have probably been playing other team sports in the off season. We aim to use this to your advantage by kicking things off with a fun invasion game, bridging the gap between the sport seasons.
Once your players are nicely warmed up it's time to start strengthening your players' throwing arm. We do this through a series of progressive exercises which also incorporate a fitness element, perfect for welcoming players back after the winter break!
The key thing in this session is progression - yes, you want to get your players back into the routine of things, reviewing the basic techniques, but what you don't want is for your players to get bored. That's why every drill in this session comes with its own progressions, allowing you to control the pace of this first session back!
