Part 1 - Warm Up
To help students remember the various fielding positions, the teacher will call out a fielding position and the students must run there as quick as possible.  Last student to get to the position will be out.  Last student remaining wins game.  

Part 2 - Skill Development
- Catching and throwing in pairs focusing on technique including high balls and grounded balls
- Throwing at a target focusing on accuracy and backing ball up if target is missed
- Have students in groups of four with one as the batter and remaining in a straight line.  On batters command they will start running backwards attempting to catch ball in flight

Part 3 - Skill Application
- 2 x teams (one batting and the other bowling/ fielding).  
- Batting team must get as many runs as possible while fielding team has four wickets to bowl from.  One run = to a cone and back
- Batter must try and defend all 4 wickets
- Ball can be given to any 4 bowlers
- The pitch the bowler bowls from is the one the batter must run around to score a run (if a shot is played).
