Dear Yoda,

When teaching Juniors new to the game, how much detail do you use during the Basic Motion Curriculum?

I fear that I will lose their attention if I am too thorough. Can you please advise on how I can keep it fun but informative?

Thank you,

Hi Spike,

May be of no consequence but I have spent hours coaching junior cricketers. To a man they all wanted to hit the ball out of the park or just bowl fast.

Theory, and structured learning, did not appeal to them but swiping the ball or pinging the batsman sure did.

Show them how to grip and swing the club and then let then wheel away at the ball. Finesse comes later bit by bit; drip fed or, otherwise, in bite size proportions.

Good luck in your endeavours.
