Fielding Drills with Coaching Tips: Reaction Catches + Dive & Return | Slow-Mo

Two fielding drills from our practice session at BT Cricket Academy, for coaches and young players. DRILL 1 – Semi-Circle Catching Fielders stand in an arc about 15 m from the coach. The coach hits catches at random, so every player has to stay ready for every ball. DRILL 2 – Dive, Field & Return The coach hits the ball into the gaps. The fielder attacks it, dives if needed, and throws flat to the keeper's gloves. Coaching points • Ready stance: knees bent, weight on the toes, hands out in front • Watch the ball right off the bat • Soft hands: give with the ball • When diving, lead with the hands and land on your side • Throw flat and hard to the keeper Chapters 0:00 Best dives 0:10 Drill 1 – Semi-Circle Catching 2:48 Drill 2 – Dive, Field & Return to Keeper 8:39 Which drill is your favourite?
