Rounders: Run roll , gather and return ball relay

A very easy to use website with helpful drills to help my players...

Winston

DESCRIPTION

The player at the front of the 2 players runs to the middle to collect the ball on the cone and roll it to the player on the opposite side.

This player collects the ball and runs to the middle to put the ball on the cone.

The next player then runs to collect the ball and rolls the ball for next player waiting.

COACHING POINTS

Players continue to run to the opposite side each time.

Although this is tiring challenge players to push themselves and sprint to meet every ball - slowing with small steps as they approach.

The rolled ball should be accurate so players should not rush the throw.

Roll out race:

Players stand in teams behind their cone, with a ball each.

When the coach says 'Go' each player rolls their ball out diagonally, through the cones nearest their starting position.

After rolling out their own ball (along the ground) players must sprint out and collect the ball thrown by the other side.

As soon as they have collected the ball they must sprint back with the ball in hand past the starting cone.

The coach decides which player makes it back first and awards their team one point.

Ground Fielding

Warm up drill:

Using a set of cricket wickets or posts. Roll the ball along the ground to a team mate. You can run with the ball, but the ball must be rolled along the ground.

Aim to hit the stumps (approach from any side of the square)in the opposition square, using an underarm flick. The square is made up of cones, distance 5-8 metres from the stumps.
No fielders at any time are allowed inside the square. The ball is never out of bounds, as there are no boundaries.
