The weather can often stop you from training, but never fear again with this batting session - it can be used indoors or outdoors, whatever the weather!
To keep your players occupied and moving, this session gets your players working on their front and back foot batting inside a limited space (ideally in nets), ensuring everyone's active and safe while practising.
Small competitions, targets and a bit of fun rivalry will all help the session remain competitive and get your players working hard without even realising!
Additional Note:
It's important you stress the need for hard work and that batting becomes easier the harder you work. International cricketers often put in the hours practising with tennis balls as it's a great way of developing and grooving techniques.
Pre-season is the best time to rebuild and refine batting technique without the pressure of match results.

Fielding placement in limited overs cricket is a tactical chess match that changes with every phase of the innings.
