Fielding drills: High catching fitness
Filed in:

Purpose: To develop catching on the run and whilst tired.

Description: Player 1 has the job of catching as many high catches as possible. Player 2 starts by throwing or hitting a high catch to player 1 who runs and catches it and rolls it back. Player 3 then throws the ball so player 1 has to run and catch it again. Repeat for a set number then rotate the players.

Variations: Keeping score adds a competitive element.

This season I have had mixed fortunes with the bat, with me having a good, solid innings one week then getting out for a duck the week after. At first, I didn't think much about it, however, when it happened a few weeks ago, I think that was the main reason why.

However, I practice in the nets 3 or 4 times a week and I feel that I am hitting the ball very well, and have been told by several coaches and players that I am technically one of the best players at the club, I feel that when I go out to the crease I feel like a bag of nerves who is desperate to get off the mark.
