High Catching
Learning Outcomes
Improve catching skills under pressure and in challenging conditions (high balls).
Increase confidence and concentration.
Description Of Activity
Players pair up. One player throws high balls (overhead catches), and the other must judge the trajectory, move into position, and catch the ball above their head.
Variations
Make the throw more difficult by varying the height and spin.
Introduce a time constraint where players need to catch within a certain period.
Coaching Tips
Encourage players to call for the ball ("Mine!") to avoid confusion.
Players should use two hands and position themselves under the ball to catch it.
Equipment/Material Required
Cricket balls.
Cones or markers.
