5. Bat behind pad when defending rather than in front.

Practice for U13-17

Individual practice routines should be built by each player. They need to take ownership, and responsibility, of creating quality batting, bowling and fielding practice. They need to work as a team, 2 batsmen in the nets, 4-6 bowlers in the nets and the rest doing drills together or in pairs and swapping when the quicks need a rest. They need to understand you play as you train.

Batsmen

Build your innings in the net, play straight, trying to time the ball towards mid-off/bowler/mid/on. Don’t go for the big shots straight away, play tight and time the poorer ball into the gaps.

Emphasize total concentration and occupation of the crease.

Practice letting balls go to learn where you’re off stump is.

Later in the net innings, try out a new shot or method.

Fielding

1. Ensure boys learn to catch high balls to the side of their face. The ball often goes through their hands and a broken nose is very stressful for all.

2. You can only show them how to catch, you can’t make them catch. They need to practice, practice, and practice. Tell their parents if necessary.

Skill

Demonstrate, Explain and Practice

Stance and Front Foot Shots,

a. Balanced Stance, Head Still, Back lift to slips.

b. Front foot leads to the ball and front shoulder aligned to line of ball.

c. Check left elbow high and aligned with eye and knee in one line. Bend knee, head still. ( Rock the baby)
