This engaging striking and fielding unit introduces students to the key skills and tactics used in cricket and rounders through a range of fun, high-activity conditioned games.

Designed to be non-specialist friendly, the lessons focus on developing striking technique, throwing and catching, fielding awareness and simple tactical decision-making rather than complex technical drills.

The activities are suitable for large classes and mixed or lower ability groups, with clear progressions and adaptations to help all students experience success. Lessons can be delivered on fields, playgrounds or sports halls, making the unit highly flexible for different school settings.
