Whether you’re 8 or 80, rounders is the ideal team sport that everyone can enjoy. Great for improving hand to eye co-ordination, it can either be played at a competitive level or just for fun in the playground.

If you’re coaching rounders, one of the most fundamental skills to teach is the ability to catch. Not everyone starts with a natural aptitude for catching the ball but there are some top techniques which can help every player learn.

Teaching and learning in rounders should be exciting for everyone involved, with rapid progress through innovative practices.

I’m lucky as I work with EYFS right through to top level performers representing their country, both in schools and satellite centres. This has really helped me developing a long-term plan for teaching rounders, which aims to support all pupils to be ‘the best they can be’ by challenging them through inclusive and innovative lessons.
