Session 9 year olds.

Hi, I have been asked to do an outdoor 30 minute session for 12 children, mixed ability and without knowing the children in advance. Would you advise to do a feilding session instead of batting and bowling? I need to yteach the skilla and use it in a game scenario. Thanks

Hi Coach,

For a 30-minute session with 12 children of mixed ability, focusing on fielding can be a great choice. Fielding sessions can be engaging and help develop teamwork and communication skills, which are crucial in cricket.

I recommend the "Junior Fielding - Ground Fielding and the Long Barrier" session plan. It focuses on ground fielding techniques and the long barrier, which are fundamental skills for young players. This session plan is highly rated and suitable for juniors.

You can find the session plan under: Junior Fielding - Ground Fielding and the Long Barrier.

This session will allow you to teach essential skills and incorporate them into a game scenario, ensuring the children have fun while learning. If you need more ideas or drills, feel free to ask!

Best of luck with your session!
