Our players come from many suburbs, including: Frenchs Forest, Davidson, Belrose, Terry Hills, Forestville, Oxford Falls and Allambie Heights.

The types of cricket we offer are listed here, and if you are about to start cricket for the first time, this page will help you decide where to start.

Go to the Cricket Blast for information on this new and exciting program for under 8 year old boys on Saturday mornings and under 10 year old girls and boys on Friday evenings.

Spin Bowling Masterclass

Spin Bowling Masterclass that will be run by former Australian Cricketer and level 3 coach, Jason Krejza.
 
The objective of the workshop is for coaches to leave with more confidence and a better understanding on how to develop spin bowlers. Coaches should also leave the session with a bank of drills and activities that they can implement into their training sessions.
 
It’s preferred that attendees hold a minimum community coaching (level 1) accreditation, however its not compulsory.
 
The attached document (Coaching Masterclass ‘How to Register Guide’) outlines the process to register for the event.
 
The details for the evening are:
Date: Wednesday 16th October 2019
Time: 6:00pm – 7:30pm
Venue: TBA (likely to be Weldon Oval or Graham’s Reserve – will confirm closer to date).
Cost: Free
 
Note: There have been recent changes to the reaccreditation framework. Coaches must now earn 100 points before their accreditation expires to stay active. Attendance at this course will earn coaches 25 points towards their reaccreditation.

  2. Once logged in, the participant needs to complete “INTRODUCTION TO CRICKET’. Click on the search button (top right hand corner) and type “introduction”
  3. After completing this online course, a certificate of completion will be issued. (This will take 24hrs to be issued)
  4. Once the certificate has been issued, the participant will then be able to enrol in the Level One Coaches Course. This is completing by logging into their coaches portal, click on the search button (top right hand corner) and type “Level 1”. A list of available courses will be shown. Select the course you wish to register for.

NOTE: You no longer have to complete the “Introduction to Cricket” before being able to register for the level 1 course. However, Ben would highly recommend trying to complete all the online modules in “Introduction to Cricket” before attending the course. You will not be issued a level 1 certificate until both “Introduction to Cricket” and the “Face to face – level 1 course” have been completed.

Attached are some documents that will provide further assistance to coaches registering for the first time.
