Thanks to Sportplan and their coaching tips, I can now coach with greater confidence and enthusiasm.
Good day im coaching cricket for 10year old boys,they can only ball 3balls then they tired,any drills i can teach them,i really want them to do well
How can i introduce cricket batting and bowling techniques to juniors and beginners aged 6-9?? Whilst still making it fun so that they enjoy it. Too many of the kids I teach still throw when they bowl and play across the line when they bat!
we are hosting a 2day cricket clinic for children age 8-14years old.any aids drills and idees would be appreciated.
I have got to run a 'TGFU' (teaching games for understanding)cricket session for my degree next week, which basically means i need to run a modified cricket session? I want something a bit different from the normal games such as continious cricket or the lords game?
What is a good game / drill to have setup at the start of a session so players can join in when they arrive (players arriving in drive/drabs/different times)? we usually have the cricket hockey game but can get a bit messy when no bibs etc.
Pre-season is the best time to rebuild and refine batting technique without the pressure of match results. This article covers the fundamental batting positions that underpin consistent run-scoring, provides a progressive session framework from shadow batting to live bowling, and highlights the common pre-season mistakes that coaches should avoid.
Fielding placement in limited overs cricket is a tactical chess match that changes with every phase of the innings. This article breaks down how captains should set fields during the powerplay, middle overs, and death overs, and provides practical coaching sessions for developing game-aware fielders who anticipate rather than react.
With IPL 2026 starting this month, we break down the art of powerplay bowling - field placement, line and length, and how to turn the fielding restrictions to your advantage.
Coaches from around the world look to Sportplan for coaching confidence.
