Nets Guidelines
- Warm up before your train!
- Check nets for damage before starting to bat each time a new batsman enters.
- Watch the nets at all times do not turn your back including walking back from bowling!
- Use a bat to retrieve balls in the side netting, or hold side netting back to protect your head when bending down.
- Batsmen should make sure no spent balls are on the mat before another ball is bowled
- Do not bowl until the previous bowler is out of the net and the batsman is ready
- Wear protective equipment when batting in nets.
- Be aware of others when batting, no unannounced slogging practice!
Please remember:
- Always do your best to offer quality training to others.
- Help at the beginning and end of sessions with setting up and putting away equipment, many hands make light work…
