Fielding and Wicket keeping drills
Fielding:
As well as opening up
an entire new approach to batting practice, the Sidearm™ can also
revolutionise fielding practice drills. Using the Sidearm™ ‘Pro’ a
coach can throw massive skiers, accurately enough to pick out an
individual player from at least 70 yards away. The Sidearm™ is a great way to boost your teams fielding and catching.
As well as big outfield
skiers, air and ground fielding in the ring can also be vastly
improved by use of the Sidearm™ . Flat 30 yard catches from the Sidearm™
can be thrown quickly and accurately, as can replicated ground
strokes with more than enough pace to test ‘boundary riders’.
Have a look at the
fielding video to see how big the Sidearm™ can really throw!!
Wicket keeping:
Another problem often
faced by coaches is how to give wicketkeepers decent practice either
in the nets or on the outfield. Bowlers don’t want to waste energy
bowling at an empty wicket, and throw downs don’t have nearly as
much carry as will be experienced in the match. Check out the video
below to see how the Sidearm™ can get the keeper working.
