Sideline Cut

 

1. Place the ball well, i.e.,on a raised tuff of grass.

2. Adopt ready position and stand a hurl length from the ball, eyes focused on the ball.

3. Hold hurl in lock position and bend knees and back-holding feet comfortably apart.

4. Swing hurl to cut under the ball and follow through with the hurl in the direction the ball is hit (sideline cut may also be hit flat on with the bas of the hurl).

5. Allow pupils to practise with(1)an imaginary ball.(2)a real ball.

 

Points to note:

  • Ball hops upwards but does not travel far-pupil not following through with hurl.
  • Pupil tops ball, i.e., hits the top of the ball and it doesnt travel far, pupil not bending knee and back and hurl not cutting under ball.
