After a relaxing weekend of cricket and bird watching we were\nback to coaching Monday morning at the Marylebone Biratnagar Jwala Cricket\nGround to work with the six teams that had just participated in the\ninter-school competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biratnagar tournament being the third girls school competition running while we have been here in Nepal. Competitions such as these are great drivers for the growth of cricket providing fun and focus for players, coaches, and teachers alike as well as allowing players to showcase their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching the girls play the previous day gave us the\nopportunity to apply some genuine player-centered coaching to this session, and\nover breakfast we worked as a  team to\napply the \u201cPOP\u201d approach to session planning (who are the Players? What\nOutcomes do they need to achieve? What Practice will we use to develop that\noutcome?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had seen that the batting and fielding were generally\nvery good, but that any pull shots were always aerial and that bowling still\nfeatured plenty of bent arms, with limited efforts to generate pace from run-ups\nand follow throughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having two hours for the session also meant we would be able\nto take our time with the group, discussing some more nuanced technical details\nas well as our ever-present discussions about harmful stereotypes and discrimination\nthat girls\u2019 face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two very contrasting sessions then took place in the\nafternoon, first we visited Purwanchal School, the alma-mater of Mandip our ever-present\nproject leader from the Nepal Cricket Foundation. A small school with an\ninternal courtyard smaller than a tennis court led to a crowded energetic\nsession with lots of noise ringing around the confined area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looks like like another trip to the head teachers office.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A short drive to the edge of town then had us unpacking our bags at Shree Naragam Model where a huge block paved area allowed for many more players to participate in a wide range of game-based play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
