New Fast Bowlers Drill - Working on Acceleration in Run Up


Just starting to use this drill with the players who have done enough strength and conditioning work to keep good form throughout the drill.
In the demonstration Stephen is doing 2 reps of each drill, In the actual activity, the athlete should do a set of 6 reps on each drill - ie. Set 1 - Ankling to first cone (10m) then transfer to High Knees to second cone (15m) then around bottom cone, collect ball and transfer onto runup. Gradual acceleration to first cone then acceleration to maximum pace at delivery. Follow through to complete first Rep.
Possible Sets are as follows:
  1. Ankling to High Knees
  2. Jog to High Knees
  3. Jog to Bound
  4. Alternate High Knees to High Knees
Each set takes about 70-90 seconds to complete but it is physically challenging so rest for 2-3minutes between sets.

Tip - Always have a target for the bowler to aim at in the delivery so he has a point to run to throughout his runup. Coaches - Encourage your player throughout the drill as it is TOUGH!!
Enjoy!
