Inspired Cricket Drills

The ECBCA joined forces with Inspired Cricket to bring you an exclusive series of drills from the new Inspired Cricket manual.

The aim of the manual is to act as a resource for coaches and players, so that they can get the most benefit out of every single practice session, and be inspired to make sure that everyone involved enjoys themselves.

If set-up and run in the right way, the same drills, games and challenges can be used to work with U9s who have never played before, all the way through to full-time professional cricketers.
