British Summer - Indoor Batting - One to save for a rainy day!
As someone who recently tried to have a barbecue during this British 'drought', I can vouch that you can never rely on the weather to do what you want it to do! That's why this week's session is one which can be used indoors or outdoors, whatever the weather! Read on to learn more!
To keep your players occupied and moving this session gets your players working on their front and back foot batting inside a limited space (ideally in the nets), ensuring everyone's active and safe at all times.
The purpose of this sessions is twofold - firstly you've got a great session in reserve, to pull out whenever the weather's not cooperating and secondly you can get your players to put in the hard work - practising their batting mechanics, such as striking with a strong top hand to drive the ball out along the ground!
It's important you stress the need for hard work, and that batting becomes easier the harder you work. International cricketers often put in the hours practising with tennis balls as it's a great way of developing and grooving techniques.

I'm really enjoying looking at all the wonderful tips and coaching ideas you have on your site, the drills are very clear and easy to read and follow, which helps when trying to relay these to the young players. I'm new to coaching so all the help I can get is great. Keep up the drills and handy hints. Very impressed. Thanks Tracey.
