Fielding Drills: Big circle, little circle

Filed in:

Purpose: To practice throwing and catching under pressure and to develop cricket specific agility/coordination.

Description: On the call of 'go' from the coach player A sprints around the inner circle. At the same time the players on the corners of the outer circle throw the ball around back to the start position without dropping it. Player A must attempt to get back to the start before the ball. Players then change places.

Some of the fielding drills on this site have attracted a number of derogatory remarks. I just want to set the record straight as a user.

If you're coaching properly, as a volunteer, and you care about what you do, you want to be planning sessions in advance and this site provides excellent materials and advice to fill the void when you're faced with a blank coaching session template.

Its not simply about running a net session especially for junior cricketers. There has to be, fun, interest, participation, variaton and purpose. It really will show when you get into the season. So please if you've nothing constructive to say, don't say anything.

Thanks James, the vast majority of people are positive but you can't please everyone right?
