A model for beginner batting /hitting/ training for 11-13 year old cricketers

L. Trenev

Abstract: Beginner cricket training for kids is difficult in Bulgaria, especially because the sport is not very popular. The devised model for beginner batting /hitting/ training for 11-13 year olds will allow for the optimization of the sport preparation in adolescents. The model is an easily applied and feasible training program for young cricketers that synchronously develops both the technique and the necessary physical qualities in depth. Good bating /hitting/ provides pleasure and through it the young athletes gain confidence and quickly learn the other technical elements. This age group is of special importance for countries like Bulgaria where 11-13 year old kids can find success and pleasure from cricket.
