U9 Season
Report |
|
By Jeremy
Moreland – Coach and Manager |

The Under 9s
attracted 44 youngsters this year who met at Hunter Park every
Friday evening to begin what we hope is a life long interest in
cricket. |
|
|
|
The group
concentrated on learning basic cricket skills for the first hour
of each session, with the second hour’s activity consisting of
an exciting and often very lively game of ‘Kwik Cricket’. This
is a game played with large plastic bats and semi-hard balls.
The aim is to introduce children to the game without injuring
them or dampening their enthusiasm! |

Coaching
assistance was in abundance this year thankfully! Many thanks to
Steve Rowe, who successfully completed his Level 1 coaching
course earlier in the year, Andy Gwynn and Trevor Watson, for
their much appreciated support. |
