Club Net this week, so with no specific focus on development, we will be practising the skills we have learnt so far this winter.
We will start promptly at 11am with:
11.00 Intro (XX),
11.05 Warm Up (XX)
11.15 Fielding Drill (XX).
We will then break into three nets, aligned with the Squad Groups the Captains identified pre season, and the Captains will spend time with ‘their’ respective net observing and discussing development needs. It is important that you make the most of this opportunity because later in the month the nets will start to look in more detail at the development needs identified by the Captains.
We will end this week’s session with a bit of a competition led by XX.
The net groups and orders will be:
Net 1 (First XI)
Bat/Bowl
11.30 A&B/C&D then E&F*
11.45 C&D/E&F then A&B
12.00 E&F/Z, A, B, C & D
- E&F will start by bowling at XX and YY in Net 2
Net 2 (Development)
Bat/Bowl
11.30
11.40
11.50
12.00
** XX will then manage Net 2 and Net 3 (when Z bowls)
*** YY will then move over and keep wicket in Net 1
Net 3 (Social)
Bat/Throw Downs
11.30
11.45
12.00
NB: as the priority this week is batting and fielding I suggest that batters face feeds and throw downs in Nets 2 and 3 BUT if the BATTERS feel they will get better practice from facing the bowlers in these nets that is their choice.
NB: when not batting, waiting to bat, or bowling/feeding as per schedule please help out with feeds in Nets 2 and 3, or use the area between the nets for some batting drills.
12.15 Over to XX
Net 2 and 3 will very much be organised by XX and Z. If players want to practice their bowling then please talk to them, and the batters, as the priority this week is fielding and batting. The Development Net is the place to practice bowling.
Obviously they need to practise their primary skills against First XI teammates, and once players have completed their training schedule we should all make ourselves available to help where we can.
