Prior to Beginning Research chosen a topic of interest

Topic of Interest: Cricket, Teaching Cricket (The Project Name will change soon)- This Idea revolves around the sport of Cricket, which is a open-air game played on large grass field between two teams of eleven players with balls, bats and two wickets on each opposite side on the cricket pitch, the objective being to score more runs than then opposition team (in order to win the game). This will be very helpful among individuals that find the sport of cricket is long and tedious, because it will unleash new colors in Cricket and will get them interested. With completing all my research, I will use this topic of Teaching Cricket, to create a website that encompasses several different things related to the basics of cricket, such as an introduction to the sport, videos (to present basic of cricket such as, batting, bowling, fielding and running), tutorials, drills and much that will create more interest. This definitely interest me as my favorite sport since a young child was cricket and I have always been happy to share this passion with others. Videos and Websites are something new, I will be using these forms of presentation because it has always been I challenge for me, so this is something that I am going to try new, making my presentation visual yet engaging.

1. How to teach a sport successfully? Secondary Source In sports, coaches usually break down the main skills in the selective sport to minor drills and skills, these known as component skills and these are then taught. The way to technically approach sports was developed after World War, which was that the individuals taught skills isolated from the game and then the skills and the game were put together to allow the students or trainees to have a real-life application. Although the drills, shared by the coaches in this case should be somewhat related to game play or the real-life application to aid the children in responding with the right attitude to different circumstances experienced during the period of gameplay.

This traditional approach usually starts with the question, How is this skill performed? and then coaches focus on teaching the skills of the fame before putting the skills into practice. This pressures participants to pay attention to the technique during the session rather than having joy in being active. This approach usually emphasizes on the correction in the movement patterns of certain drills, although the reality is that there are a majority of children who wish and have fun. This suggests that the excessive emphasis on the technicality requirements tend to immensely low the motivation and enjoyment.

2. How to keep a high level of energy flowing throughout a class?- Secondary Source Classroom participation is a feature of many course designs. It can result in insightful comments and interesting connections being made by students, and can foster a high level of energy and enthusiasm in the classroom learning environment. However, poorly managed participation can also lead to instructor frustration and student confusion.Below are strategies to consider using to make your classroom participation more effective. Be clear with your definition and intention. Participation is often equated with discussion, which typically involves a lengthy conversation with the whole class. However, participation can also include short exchanges between instructors and students, or within small groups of students. If you include participation in your roster of assessments, you need to clearly communicate to your students what it will entail and why you are including a participation component. Do see participation as the outcome of student preparation? Are you interested in the quality of contributions or quantity? Does participation enable students to take risks and make errors as part of their learning? Does it increase their exposure to other ways of thinking? Does it enable them to demonstrate and develop their communication skills? Is it possible for a student to participate too much? Seek consensus. While you can independently prepare arubricthat explains how you will assess participation, you may find that students will participate more enthusiastically if you ask them to help define what constitutes effective participation and then ask them to develop a rubric with you. Bean & Peterson (1998) suggest asking students to identify features of effective discussions they have experienced in the past, including the behaviours and roles of both the students and the instructor.

3. What are the basic batting skills required to be taught to a learner in cricket?-Secondary and Primary Sourcea. Gripping the bat:i. The grip principles are the same for right and left-handers. For a right-hander the left hand should be at the top of the handle - vice versa for a left-hander. Check both your hands are fairly close together on the bat, towards the top of the handle. Form a "V" by pointing your thumb and forefinger down between outside edge and centre of back of bat. The top hand rests comfortably on the inside of the front thigh (left thigh for a right hander). And the back of the top hand should face towards extra cover.b. Stance:i. The stance is the "ready" position when the batsman is about to face a delivery. It is the base to play all your shots, so remember to be comfortable and relaxed. Points to remember: The feet should be approximately a foot length apart either side or on the popping crease The weight of the batsman should be on the balls of their feet, with the knees slightly bent. This means they can transfer quickly to either their front or back foot depending on the length of the ball The batsman should be side on when the bowler is about to deliver Some batsmen prefer to open their stance to help them see the ball clearer.

c. Here's how to... get the correct backlift and step Backlift: i. Most batsmen will raise their bat as the bowler approaches. Taking the bat back and stepping to the ball sets the batsman up for playing the correct shot properly. The bat is taken back towards the stumps and at the top of the backlift the face should open towards second slip. The front shoulder should roll down as the bat is lifted, with the head kept as still as possible. Keep the hands close to the back hip, so that toe of the bat is at around shoulder height. Ensure any movement forward or back is completed before the downswing of the bat begins.Work Cited: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/skills/4173594.stmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZjCQs4O1q44.

That means understanding when and how to incorporate them into practice sessions.There is no best time to do fielding drills, most coaches will put them in as part of a warm up or extended warm up into skill work at the sttat of a session. That's a great idea if you need to work on fielding while fresh and focused. Plus, it's good for those players who find fielding a chore to "get it done" before they sneak away after having a net.However, its also just as valid to use drills later in practice. They can break up a session, give batters and bowlers something to do during downtime. Just be sure you know the dangers.On top of this, it's important to know why you are doing a drill. Is it for skill development, honing technique, fitness, fielding under pressure or something else? If the drill doesn't fit your needs, do another.Finally, try and keep fielding drills short and focused. Drills that go on for too long end up becoming dull and not developing skills. It's better to do a fielding drill for five minutes and get a little better than to try and do it for 20 minutes to get a lot better. It doesn't work like that!Work Cited: http://www.pitchvision.com/cricket-fielding-drills/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3JM_kXQmoM

5. What are the basics of balling required to be taught to a learner in cricket?a. Bowling comes in two categories: either fast or spin (slow) bowling. The videos and drills below show the technique required to do both types of bowling. Fast bowlers aim to get the ball to the batsman as quick as possible and have a longer run up. Fast bowling aims to either swing the ball toward (inswing) or away (outswing) from the batsman while it is in the air, bounce off the ball's seam to make it move when it hits the pitch, land the ball half way up the wicket (a bouncer) or at the batsman's feet (a yorker). Slow bowlers look to put as much rotation on the ball as possible to make it move off the pitch toward the bowler (off-spin) or away (leg-spin). A spin bowler will try to vary their speed and how the ball arrives (its flight) to the batsman. Depending on the amount of spin the ball can move in the air, known as drift.

6. What drills and techniques can be implemented to aid development in basics of cricket skills?a. Batting is a difficult cricket skill made more difficult by the pressure of having one chance before your innings is over. It's important to get it right because your mistakes are so punished. That's why you need to know how to bat technically, tactically and mentally if you want to be a good batsman. Batsman come in all different varieties and develop their own techniques and methods to compile their own individual textbook based on flair, technique, tactics and ability under pressure. This complete guide outlines the skills needed to develop and progress all aspects of your batting.
