whats the top 3 warm ups for cricket
I don't play cricket very often.. generally only during summer for 3-4 months. That's the only time I can practice as it's cold for 6-7 months in midwest US. <br /><br />How can I avoid swollen fingers while catching? How to get myself confident of catching and not be afraid of hurting?
hi how to train a u10 boy to take reflex catches
I came across this idea when I was involved in a training session last year. the idea is to find out if you are more balanced breathing in and holding your breath or emptying your lungs before you attempt to take a catch. the way they did this was to pair off and player one breaths in and holds his breath and player two gently pushes player one to see how balanced he is, then player one empties his/her lungs and player two pushes them gently again and then they see where player one has the most effective balance, then they do the same with player two. Has anyone else come across this? I'm just wondering? After doing this there did seem to be an increase in successful catches.
Hi, I have two boys aged 3 and 5 who are mad about cricket - do you have any fun games/lesson plans I can play with them and their friends? Thanks

how to learn how to catch better
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.

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.
What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
I can't get enough of the Sportplan, It has given me back the enthusiasm i was starting to lose. My girls are so keen and are ready at 14 to take the next up in their game. Sportplan will help no end.
