 Rock n Bowl Time 10min
Equipment Per • 1 ball
Group
Instructions • This approach replicates momentum through the crease
rather than coaching a static skill
• Firstly, set the bowler up side-on to the target with the
non-bowling arm facing the target
• The bowler commences ‘rocking’ back and forth
• The bowler should extend both arms, with the bowling
arm extending low and the non-bowling arm extending
high
• When the bowler is comfortable, they should release the
ball with a straight arm towards the target, whilst in the
forward rocking motion
• A good way to remember this motion is it is like the
bowler is doing a ‘cartwheel’ The bowler is encouraged to
move both arms past their ribs on opposite side of their
body to the bowling arm
• Finally, the bowler should drive their back leg towards
the target
• Have students pair up and bowl to each other 10-15m
away

Variations/ • Can be used for spin bowling too

progression • Progress from rock and roll into using a small runup
KTP’s • Rock
• Roll
• Cartwheel
