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 the nets), ensuring everyone's active and safe at all times.
The purpose of this sessions is twofold - firstly you've got a great session in reserve, to pull out whenever the weather's not cooperating and secondly you can get your players to put in the hard work - practising their batting mechanics, such as striking with a strong top hand to drive the ball out along the ground!
