Day Two of the Southern Province Level One Coaching Course focused entirely on the art and science of bowling, with special emphasis on spin bowling and fast bowling. The day was structured to give coaches both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience, ensuring a well-rounded learning process.
The morning began with a detailed classroom session, where instructors delivered an in-depth briefing on the fundamentals of spin and fast bowling. Key topics included grip variations, body alignment, run-up mechanics, release points, and common technical faults. Coaches were also guided on how to identify and correct errors, manage workloads, and develop bowlers according to age and skill level.
Following the classroom discussions, the course moved to the practical phase in the nets. Here, participants applied what they had learned, working closely with bowlers to refine techniques under real training conditions. Spin bowling sessions focused on control, flight, and turn, while fast bowling drills emphasized rhythm, pace, accuracy, and safe action mechanics.
The combination of classroom learning and practical net sessions made Day Two both engaging and impactful. Coaches left with greater confidence and clearer methods to develop effective spin and fast bowlers, reinforcing the Southern Province coaching program’s commitment to producing knowledgeable and capable cricket coaches.
