Cricket Fielding Drills - Close Catching
This is a very good example of the sort of "One Percenters" really good cricketers pay attention to. Everyone can improve their catching - but if you really want to become a match-winner in the field - you have to examine your technique and work hard at perfecting it!
Have a look at this drill - very basic but it will help make your close catching a reflex and help you put fewer catches down.

Brett Lee Bowling Action
A great breakdown of the Lee bowling action.
Delivery stride from a high right knee - strong pulldown of the bowling hand - left arm tucks and clears as the right arm comes through - and right knee drives towards the batsman. Violence but control!

This week at Activate
Junior Coaching continues with Jeff, Nathan and Lachlan. The juniors are working hard at developing their batting and bowling skills through the winter so they can enjoy their cricket when Spring arrives.
Our Holiday Clinics will be starting next Monday so we are fielding a lot of calls from parents eager to book their kids in for 3 days of fun cricket-based activities! The Centre should be choc-a-block throughout the holidays as we have clinics running for the next two weeks, plus Holiday Clinics for Canterbury and Western Suburbs Cricket Association and also a couple of days when the boys from Western Suburbs will be training here!
To all our juniors - Remember the basics:
Batting - watch the ball, move to the ball, then hit the ball. And always control the bat. You swing the bat - the bat doesn't swing you!
Bowling - strong front arm, head still, "flick" and follow through!
John's Fast Bowler's Off Season Strength and Conditioning Program shifts into a new phase this week as July comes around. They are in Week 9 so just starting the third month of the program. The boys work will shift from strength based activities to more endurance work as well as an increase in technical work on batting and bowling actions!
Ash has been working very hard with the older guys who are training through the winter in our Senior Coaching Programs with a view to lots of runs and wickets next summer at grade clubs across Sydney. Many of these players are being introduced to some pretty demanding fitness sessions to get them strong enough to maintain their technique for longer periods in the middle when it counts. More and more of our "regulars" are starting in on their pre-season programs in an effort to steal a march on the guys they are competing with for spots in grade clubs!
