Hi Gents, I've blagged myself an interview for the role of Welsh Women's Senior Coach, and need to plan a 90 minute session. Got the last 70 minutes sorted, but need some drills for a fielding circuit. Have a few ideas but has any-one got anything interesting that I could use.
Cheers

This thread has completely highlighted why this forum has gone downhill in the last 6-8 months. Before, this thread would have been inundated with people offering some support. Perhaps I should have posted the thread with the title 'I've got £300 and I like bats, which bat should I buy if I like cricket?'

;) ;). But very true. If you look at you tube and then go to "pitch vision" and go through their archive.
Very useful IMO

While the kit discussions are always the busiest, perhaps the people who have viewed this thread just haven't got any suggestions for a coach that is potentially more qualified than they are?
I don't think i'd manage to suggest something you haven't already thought of. I will however wish you the best of luck.

The pitchvision suggestion is spot on, lots of useful stuff on there

Think you've hit the nail on the head there mate.
As much as I'd love to have come up with a suggestion, as I'm a barely qualified assistant coach you've probably blown your nose and produced better ideas than I'd manage.
Best of luck with your interview though, will keep my fingers crossed for you buddy :)

another option for you is to consider transferable drills from other sports like hockey?
not sure about the quality of posting, people have work to do too!

If you really dislike the kit element and discussions perhaps try a coaching forum. This forum has gone downhill blah blah blah
-
Tailor drills to location indoors + outside as some don't work inside.
As I am not a coach probably not best placed to suggest anything further.

Isn't everybody on half term then?

Between 3 and 7, (4 hour window) I was working, then. A 2 hour commute home, followed by my tea.
Not much time for forum in between.
As said, not really a coach. But before games we tend to line up, batsmen hits ball(air or floor his choice) and shouts either "bowler" or "stumper"
The fielder then has to either hit a solitary stump, or into the keepers hands dependant on call.
If they miss field/drop or throw to the wrong end, it's a run to the side screen and back.
Seems to work.

Split fielders into 3 groups of three. Each group does a round robin. You set up a bowling machine that fires balls into the air and the fielder takes catches 'in the deep'. Change the speed and angle to make them move. Repeat x times. Second group does ground fielding, so ball fired along the deck and the fielder runs around and makes the stop. Increase difficulty from straight at them to making them run and put the diving stop in. Third group is your slips, get a small ramp and just get them taking slip catches, high/low/left/right etc. you can do 5 mins on each station and if you have enoug do a 4th station where you have to attempt a run out, again vary the feed from straight at them to make them run and pick up on the move and shy.
Keeper is doing drills by taking balls standing back and then simulating standing up (maybe get a fake batsmen in front to 'move' to make it more realistic. Something along those lines is what I'm going to try and introduce in to weekly trainig and hopefully pre game to get everyone going

On a more constructive note, why not do the traditional one, where you have three groups, two stumps and a keeper.
Group one: keeper rolls ball along the ground, fielder underarms at stump directly from collecting ball (one movement), then runs on to group two.
Group two: fielder fields ball underarmed at stump, throws overarm at stump set up 40 yards away, runs on to group three.
Group three: fielder fields balls from long distance throws and chucks into wicketkeeper to catch, then runs on to group one.
Repeat ad infinitum or until bored.

As a trainee PE teacher and cricket coach, this sounds like my kind of thing.
I thought about incorporating fielding and running between the wickets into a more authentic game situation. Create a smaller than normal sized pitch, allow the batsman to hit the ball of a tee (bowling machine or man with sidearm would be more authentic) and their aim is to find space through running ones and twos. The fielders objectives is to work as a team through chasing down in twos, backing up etc. to limit the amount of runs. As the drill progresses, spot for weaknesses in the fielding aspect of the game (could be basic long barrier or something more complex) and hone in by breaking down the skill if necessary. (Weaknesses could be individual to each player or could be more general to the overall team) If you feel they have improved through breaking down the skill, put it back into the game situation to see if individuals/team have improved.
Hope this helps and if you need anymore help, gimme a shout.

Cheers bud, thats helpful. Where are you training to be a PE teacher, and what route are you taking?

Personally I would look to incorporate a wide range of skills with in the drill to include the coach hitting a catch to a group at station 1, once caught the ball is thrown at a stump encouraging station 2 to attack the ball as thrown for a back up/ run out scenario who in turns throw at another stump once fielded, where the keeper is standing to bring the keeper in to play, the keeper then rolls the ball out for station 3 to attack with an under armed pick up and throw back to the coach.
Working with a new group normally needs a fair amount of pro active thinking to adapt the session as it progresses. Have seen many a coach continue with the planned session when it is clearly to hard/easy for the group. Keep it intense and match specific as find women cricketers work better when its a match situation.

One station of a fielding circuit could be Court Ball:
Two teams on a badminton court, area coned off in centre of court (Full width of court and about 50cm deep) 3 players on each side, take turns in throwing ball to opponents side but the ball has to bounce in the middle area. Aim is to throw the ball and other team must stop it going out the back of the court.
Another station may be two squares:
You have two squares coned off about 3m x 3m. 3 players in a team on each square with a 4m gap between the two squares.They have to underarm the ball into the other square and the other team must catch the ball and not let it land in their square. If it lands in the square the player whos fault it was/dropped the catch must leave the square meaning the team has 1 less player. If someone throws it and it looks like its not going to land in the square the opposition can leave the ball and if it lands outside the square the player who threw it is out. Game can get quite tactical when theres only 1 v 1 at the end with lots of high throws that may just land on the line.
Hope that makes sense and doesnt seem too complex!

I would have loved to help you but my usual warm up drills before a game usually consists of a prematch cigarette. Unfortunately I quit smoking for Stoptober so I now have absolutely nothing to offer!
