As part of preparations for our participation in this year's Dynamo Mixed Cricket Tournament due to take place in June, a group of children from years 5 and 6 have been enjoying the opportunity to develop skills and consider strategy.

This week, we focused on improving our placement and power when hitting from the tee in a bid to capitalise on some 'free' runs. 

Remember, try to step into the ball and avoid striking it directly to a fielder - aim for space instead. Also, strike the ball forwards, not behind or any runs you do secure won't count! It's ok to hit high as you can't get caught out when hitting from the tee. And finally, remember, you must strike the ball before the umpire counts down from 3. 

One last week to refine game play ahead of the tournament next half term. 

Good luck to you all!
