DESCRIPTION

Players stand in a circle with 1 or 2 balls (there are 2 in the video).

They have to throw the ball to each other and every time one of them makes a mistake they have to drop down on one knee.

On the second mistake they have to drop down onto both knees and with the third mistake they are out.

Who will be the last player standing/ kneeling?

COACHING POINTS

You could add rules like one hand catching or players may only use their left hand.

Rules

Players are not allowed to throw the ball back to the player they received it from.

Players are not allowed to throw the ball to the player that has already got a ball.

Players must throw the ball so the player has a good opportunity to catching the ball, not to low, hard or high.

Ground Fielding:

Long barrier Team A must roll the ball past team B to score a point (goal) and vice versa.

Ground Fielding

Ball drop and pick up:

Players work in groups of 5, in a grid with 5 cones set up in a zig-zag formation, roughly 7 metres apart.

Each player stands on a cone. All players, except for those queueing behind the first cone require balls.

On the coach's call player 1, on the first cone, aims to get to collect the ball that has been dropped from shoulder height by the player on the cone in front of them, before the ball bounces twice.

This is one pick-up.

Player 1 then gives the ball back to the player on the cone, and sets themself before the coach gives the next call.

Again the working player aims to get to the next ball before second bounce.

This process is repeated until all players have performed 4 pick-ups.

Ground Fielding

Batting control:

Four players working with 1 ball and 1 bat.

One of the 3 players throws the ball at the batter who has to tap the ball back to any of the 3 players so they can catch the ball and throw the ball back again.

Batting

3 ball round the clock:

Setup: 4 players stand in a diamond with 3 balls. A 5th player stands in the middle.

To start the drill 1 of the outside players throw their ball to the player in the middle who has to return the ball the player who did not have a ball before the ball was thrown.

The middle player then rotates to receive the next ball and the drill continues in this way.
