The indispensible fielding aid
Those how like to get to a ground early, get settled in and watch the teams go through their paces in the warm-up, will more than likely have seen a Katchet being used. It has become a staple for coaches across the world.
A practical and portable alternative to a slip cradle, it allows coaches to mimic game situations for all fielding positions. One of the most difficult things in training is to replicate the speed and angles that come when the ball hits the bat. The Katchet a unique design that simulates the unpredictable deflections and movements that the ball will take during a game.
Suitable for hard or soft ball, indoor and outdoor use, it is designed for ease of transportation and minimal set up.
T20 has seen the importance of top-class fielding in limited overs cricket, a well drilled fielding side can save between 20-30 runs a game. The Katchet allows players to work on and improve their reflexes, technique, catching ability and general fielding.
Ex-Australia coach, John Buchanan is a big fan, “As a coach who is on the road for many months of the year, the Katchet cricket board is a welcome addition as it is light, durable and easily transportable. I believe it will be a welcome addition to any team or club’s coaching equipment.”
KatchMax
If the Katchet is the County Championship, the KatchMax is the T20 Blast. Designed to provide a more extreme degree of deflection it is ideal for wicketkeepers to practice their footwork or for fielders working on spectacular dives and catches.
The KatchMax is designed to either sit on top of the Katchet or be placed flat on the ground. This allows coaches to change the focus of training with ease – placing on the ground is ideal for ground fielding or creating run out drills.
KoachSak and KoachSak Pro
The KoachSak – first brought out in 2016 – has been joined in 2018 by the KoachSak Pro. With a plethora of kits storage options available to players, the KoachSak range is the world’s first bag that has been exclusively designed for coaches.
It has been designed to fit all of a modern coaches equipment, but also in a way that makes everything easy to find. It has found a balance by being easy to transport, but also big enough to fit everything a coach would need.
The KoachSak Pro keeps the versatility and practicality of the original, but they have removed a zip and an extra divider allows for up to 3 moveable compartments to be created within the bag. The interior walls, like the KoachSak have been cleverly lined with Velcro so there are no restrictions as to the size or layout of the compartments.
In addition to providing a solution for the coach themselves, the bags can also be customised in your club or school’s livery. This is an option taken up by many domestic and international teams, creating a unique and really quality product specific for the organisation.
Fusion Stumps
Fusion Stumps were designed by Fusion Sports following a request from the England Cricket team for a stump that wouldn’t be broken by their fast bowlers. While not a problem for many of the club teams, everyone has experienced fielding drills or bowling drills break down as balls ricochet off into bushes or the other side of the field.
This weather-resistant and flexible product takes the previously functional stump into the 21st century. It allows the ball to travel through the stumps, with only minimal deflection. With an interchangeable spike or flat base it can be used indoors or outdoors, on virtually any surface.
Due to the flexibility and tapered nature allowing the ball to pass straight through, fielding drills and bowling practice can be ran continuously. The minimal deflection means that it is ideal for keepers, both up to the stumps and standing back, perfect for working on footwork.
