Cricket

Outline of Program

The aim of the program is to extend upon the skills and knowledge of the cricket experience gained outside the school environment.
To achieve this, students will experience tuition in skill acquisition and be exposed to knowledge of all aspects of the game.
This will involve practical and theoretical exposure to elements such as cricket history, skill acquisition, rules of the game, revision of game situations and competition in available tournaments.
Every opportunity will be given to students to forge their career path from junior representative teams to grade and beyond.
Parents will have the chance to speak with coaches about their child’s academic achievements, behaviour, and cricket development.

Skill Acquisition, Nets Sessions, Game Simulation/ Game Sense, Technique Refinement and Analysis of Games.
