Under 13'S Club Coaching Plan Under 13’s Club Coaching Plan warwickshirecricketboard Warwickshire Cricket Board @warks_wcb Introduction Warwickshire Cricket Board has produced an 18-week coaching plan for clubs to help them deliver high quality coaching to children across the area. The plan features 6 winter sessions and 12 summer sessions to replicate the approximate period of time spent coaching children at your club each year. This equates to 18 hours coaching time. The aim of the plan is for children in the under 13 age group to enjoy participating in cricket through fun and engaging sessions, with a focus on developing technical and tactical play across all skills within the game. At under 13’s level, the majority of players have had experience of hard ball cricket for at least 2 seasons and therefore are experienced with the basics of the game. This plan specifically targets developing tactical and technical components of the game, to challenge the players to improve further and prepare for the demands of a faster-paced game at under 13, where players are now stronger and able to bowl strike and throw quicker. The tactical components of the plan explores all 3 disciplines of the game and include changing the lengths that are bowled, how to bat in situations, playing spin and allowing opportunities for all players to experience captaincy. It is imperative that every player is batting, bowling, catching and throwing as much possible, in order to develop the fundamental movements and techniques. The plan is set out to achieve continual active engagement in every activity. Progressions within activities are also an essential for both the development of the group, but also as an opportunity to challenge players through fun. There are a wide range of progression ideas for each activity, including competition, increasing or decreasing the difficulty of the task or rewards in games for using skills learned in main activity. Players should be encouraged to attempt the new learning in the game scenarios. There is not an exhaustive amount of activities or progression options, so your own clubs’ ideas are welcomed. This coaching plan is designed to be there for clubs/coaches as a useful resource. If you need further assistance with planning, please use ‘I coach Cricket’ (http://icoachcricket.ecb.co.uk/) which shows examples and videos of activities and details of how to access the videos are within this document. If you would like to discuss the plan or need further support, please contact WCB Cricket Development Coach, Andy Turnbull, via email ([email protected]). warwickshirecricketboard Warwickshire Cricket Board @warks_wcb U13’s Winter Coaching: Session 1 Equipment Set Up Rules Progressions Time iCoach Video Warm Up: Cones Players work in pairs.

  • Umpires Technique Manual
    UMPIRES TECHNIQUE MANUAL INTRODUCTION – WHAT IS GOOD TECHNIQUE Good technique is the ability to cope with all aspects of the game. On the field of play, knowledge of the Laws, the intentions and interpretations must be applied to ever changing situations. A decision made during the first session of play may not evoke the same emotional response from either the player or umpire as one made late in the day when the match is in the balance. Theoretical knowledge is one thing but being able to make reasoned and consistent decisions from split second actions when under pressure is quite another. There are many aspects which go towards attaining good technique including: • Preparation • Working as a team • Focus and concentration • Dealing with Captains and Players • Self-Assessment • Coping with pressure • Earning respect This manual has been introduced to assist umpires in carrying out their duties in a more consistent and competent manner. Some of the suggestions as written may not suit each individual umpire but can be refined to suit your nature and style and should not be rejected outright. It is recommended that, if you require clarification of these techniques, you should discuss them with the Training and Development Officer. i CONTENTS Section Topic Page 1 Before the Match ....................................................... 1 2 Signals and Calls ........................................................ 2 3 Decision Making ........................................................ 3 4 Positioning ................................................................

  • Race and Cricket: the West Indies and England At
    RACE AND CRICKET: THE WEST INDIES AND ENGLAND AT LORD’S, 1963 by HAROLD RICHARD HERBERT HARRIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON August 2011 Copyright © by Harold Harris 2011 All Rights Reserved To Romelee, Chamie and Audie ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My journey began in Antigua, West Indies where I played cricket as a boy on the small acreage owned by my family. I played the game in Elementary and Secondary School, and represented The Leeward Islands’ Teachers’ Training College on its cricket team in contests against various clubs from 1964 to 1966. My playing days ended after I moved away from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, where I represented Ridley Cricket Club against teams as distant as 100 miles away. The faculty at the University of Texas at Arlington has been a source of inspiration to me during my tenure there. Alusine Jalloh, my Dissertation Committee Chairman, challenged me to look beyond my pre-set Master’s Degree horizon during our initial conversation in 2000. He has been inspirational, conscientious and instructive; qualities that helped set a pattern for my own discipline. I am particularly indebted to him for his unwavering support which was indispensable to the inclusion of a chapter, which I authored, in The United States and West Africa: Interactions and Relations , which was published in 2008; and I am very grateful to Stephen Reinhardt for suggesting the sport of cricket as an area of study for my dissertation.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a deterministic model for setting the target in T-20 Cricket by the team batting first. Mathematical tools were used in model development. Recursive function and secondary data statistics of T-20 cash rich cricket tournament Indian Premier League (IPL) such as runs scored in different stages, fall wickets in different stages, and type of pitch are used in developing the model. This model was tested at 120 matches held IPL 2016 and 2017. This model had been proved effective by comparing with the models developed earlier. This model can be a useful tool to the stakeholders like coach and captain of the team for adopting better strategy at any stage of the match. For future research, this model can be useful in framing a regulation work by policy makers at both national and international cricket board by deriving the target score during interruptions.
