Pre-Season Wicketkeeping Academy 2009 enrolment form

A good wicketkeeper is critical to the success of any team. They need to be reliable, fit, skilful, tough and at times brilliant but this key position can often by occupied by the player who is, at times, a forgotten man at practice. A good keeper can turn a game their team’s way with an outstanding catch, stumping or run-out and in order for a wicketkeeper to excel they must put in quality time and effort to work on all aspects of their game.

This intensive program is most suitable for aspiring wicketkeepers who have already had some experience in match play situations, covers all aspects of the art of wicketkeeping and leaves players feeling confident and ready for their best season behind the stumps.

Please find below a brief outline and some key points involved in developing sound and effective bowling actions in young cricketers and an accompanying practice activity.

Bowling Actions

In general there are 3 acceptable positions for a bowler to deliver the ball:

• Side on
• Front on
• Semi open

The main thing to look for in young bowlers to ensure their safety and maximise their effectiveness is that their hips and shoulders are pointing in the same direction at delivery. For instance, in a front on position, the bowlers back foot lands pointing down the wicket and their hips and shoulders are both pointing down the pitch. In a side on delivery, the back foot lands pointing across the wicket, while the hips and shoulders are pointing across the wicket. The key to a safe action is the hips and shoulders pointing in the same direction.

Bowling Drill

Target Practice

• Bowlers bowl into a hula-hoop that has been placed on a good length
• As bowlers become increasingly competent at this task, the coach can put smaller targets into place
• Keep score and see who hits the target the most
• Bowlers can progress from taking one step, to a few steps, to their full run-up when bowling to these targets
