Did you know that cricket is the world’s most popular bat-and-ball game? Cricket is hugely popular in England, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and India.
Whether you’re interested in learning how to play the game or want to improve your cricket skills, we can help you find a coach to up your game.
If you are just starting out in cricket, you will want to focus on the basics. You need great hand-eye coordination to wield a bat and bowl a ball. Bowling a cricket ball is quite a skill, and a cricket coach can help you learn different skills like swing bowling, spin bowling and fast bowling.
One of the most important facets of the game of cricket is batting technique. Various batting drills can help you learn how to hold a bat and swing it effectively. Beginners need to learn correct body positioning – how to stand, where to place your hands and how to bend your body. As you grow your cricket skills, you will learn more advanced skills including when to defensively hit a ball away and when to go for 4s and 6s. Cricketers should know a range of bat strokes including a pull, a cut, a drive and flick.
When practicing fielding you need to master running, catching and collecting the ball and throwing it accurately towards other players or the stumps. A good cricket coach will not focus only on bowling and batting, but also on the skills needed to be a good fielder.
While cricket may seem like a slower game compared to soccer or hockey you still need to practice fitness skills. Good agility and reaction times can really help you improve both your fielding and batting.
Young children still developing their hand-eye coordination can greatly benefit from some time spent with a cricket coach. They will learn the very basics of the game and beginner techniques like how to bowl a ball and how to hold a bat. For younger children cricket coaches generally use a soft ball.
Older children will benefit from coaching, both one-on-one and in a team environment. When coaching a team, a coach can begin teaching fielding techniques and game strategy.
Adults may enjoy playing cricket as a sport and a coach can help get their skills up to scratch.
