I did my first session with this age group recently. The lead coach was working on run-up but there were ltos of wayward deliveries. I started them bowling from the base position then from 3, 5, 7 step run-up. If they get the base and delivery right the rest can be added on. We also gave them six balls to bowl and marked where each one landed with flat cones. This allowed them to see their grouping. This worked well for line, but length was still an issue.
