Getting More Value from Winter Training Sessions. (Free Downloads)
Winter nets should be a time for building up slowly to the season. A time for reminding your body of the various skills, movements and techniques that will have had a bit of a rest for a few months. Largely, winter training at club level can typically consist of a 5 minute hack in a net and running in aimlessly trying to bowl as fast as possible to flatten the stumps, or worse, the batsman!
Please find bellow a series of short training session ideas for you to get the most out of your winter training which we will be adding to regularly. .pdf files will be added below over the winter for you to share, use and discuss as you wish. We very much enjoy hearing your feedback, so please do leave us a message with what you think of the ideas and how they work (or not) for you either below or on our Twitter (@aLeadingEdge1) or Facebook (@aleadingedge) pages.
Good luck!
