This is a GREAT clip! No fancy shoes or tracksuits...no flash training field....just some cones, some committed trainers trying to get better and a MANIC coach screaming at them! LOVE IT! WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE FIX HIS CONE?!!!!

These guys are not just focussing on the technique - they are also trying to do each drill - and every rep of each drill - as fast as possible.

Fielding Drills: Fielding Circle
This drill has been kindly sent to me by regular reader Lyndon. If you have a drill you want featured please contact me.
Aim for players: to get 10 wickets by either direct throw on stump or catching.
Aim for coach: to score the set amount of runs.
Coach and players decide in advance how many runs the coach needs to get. Lower the number the easier it is to score and harder for players to defend. Players throw ball at the stump. Other players back up throw. Coach can play shots to try and find gaps. If ball goes through or over fielders coach allocates a number of runs scored off that shot. Coach needs to try and aim for gaps to reinforce the idea of covering all areas. Also aim over the top if fielders get too close. To ensure it is competitive allow a few free throws at the stump and give catches. Try to make sure there is no time taken over lining up a throw (like in a game situation). Always praise good fielding and backing up, not just throws but backing up other fielders.
Fielding Drills: Chase and return (single or double team)
Purpose: To practice chasing, picking up and returning to the wicketkeeper.
Description: The keeper or coach rolls the ball out for the first fielder to chase and return. To practice team throws, 2 players can chase, the first flicking the ball back for the second. The player then returns to the group. Variations: The player can stay out in the deep for the coach or keeper to hit a catch or ball along the ground for another return.
Fielding Drills: Back them up
Purpose: Practicing backing up and throwing at a stump.
