Thanks to Sportplan and their coaching tips, I can now coach with greater confidence and enthusiasm.
We have 40 kids registered for 15 spots. We need to run trials to select 15 kids based on their skills. Does anyone have online resource/template used for these kind of selction?Batting, bowling and fielding trials need to be conducted for age of 10-13 years old kids.
Hi, can anyone help me with a basic plan for a first session with 5 to 7 year olds in throwing and catching?
Hi there. I need help coaching a 9 year old not to be scared of the ball. The kid has a sound technique but steps away while batting. Any Tips?
Hi - I need to create a session plan (20 minutes) for an Attack or Defend Batting Game, where the child needs to make the decision depending on the delivery whether to attack or defend the ball. Approximately 8-10 children aged 10 and 11 - any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks. Anil
I ran a coaching session on Sunday where I took along a number of handwritten cards, from which the kids (U11s) could randomly choose "Super Over", "Bowl Off" or "Game Scenario". If they chose the latter, I had another set of cards they could choose from "Wicket Target", "Run Target", "Run Target - but boundaries don't count".Finally, they then draw from some more cards - runs (20-30), max wickets (1-3), overs (3-5).Each game scenario lasted around 10-20 mins, so in our session, we had time for about 4 or 5 scenarios. They appeared to enjoy it, but most of them said they wanted to bowl/bat individually for longer! Kids, eh?The idea behind these if to get them thinking about batting intelligently - rotating the strike, keeping the score ticking over, managing achievable run rates, etc. It's also a chance to give some of them some experience at captaining and having to make key decisions (bowling and batting order, how to place a field for different scenarios).Any ideas for variations I could try would be welcome. My session lasts for 2 hours including warm ups and any specific exercises I want to do beforehand.
