Latest updates from the Co-ordinator to all participants
Wow!! What a fantastic day for our In2cricketers. The boy's skill levels have improved so much in such a short amount of time. Well done!! The biggest thanks goes to all our parents who are pitching in and 'getting their hands dirty' - so to speak. Our 'permanent' and 'weekly' coaches are doing such fine jobs. I know that the club is in good hands with coaching talent like this. Our helpers - Michael, Jim, Felicity and Kirsten are all doing extremely well and we are very lucky to have them. Kirsten and Felicity are running this week's session so please give them all the support you can. Coaching Tips - As you can see, each week we try to build on a skill that we worked on previously. It's important, no matter the skill (batting, bowling fielding) that the player gets the confidence first, and then step up the skill level. Don't be too concerned if your son is having trouble with a particular skill, let them practice with confidence and positive re-enforcement. If they are having real trouble with a skill, look at ways to make the drill simpler. A good example is catching. Go back to catching a balloon and work your way down in ball size and up in ball weight. Balloons are also excellent to help with batting! Important NoticePLEASE have your son label all their into cricket gear clearly. If you do choose to bring your bat etc to the sessions, please re-enforce the importance of each child looking after their own gear. (There's nothing worse than misplacing your favourite bat or ball!!) Finally, please ensure you take plenty of water for the boys and lather the sunscreen on. Have a great week and have some fun on Saturday. Cheers Mark |
