Allenton Cricket Club

Mid Canterbury Cricket is again offering a pre-season training programme for male and female players between the ages of Year 7 right through to Year 13 which are held in the Ashburton Oval Pavilion Indoor Nets and run by our Game Development Officer Taine Cordell-Hull.

* Note the holiday programme for Year 2 - 6 players registration form will appear tomorrow.

The programme includes four x two-hour training sessions covering all the fundamental cricket skills and we try and make groups of similar age and/or skills to enhance some of the personal coaching aspect for the individual.

The cost for the four sessions is $115.00 else $30 a session but priority will be given to those who register for all 4 sessions.

Details of how to pay will be on the registration form but we will also send details when groups are confirmed.

The Programme starts on Monday 14th September and finishes the week of October 5th. Generally it will run from about 3.30pm for the younger players through to 9pm at night for the eldest but will be subject to numbers registered and the subsequest groups we create.

Registrations are essential so we can try and arrange times and groups and these close 30th August so that we can give you information early to plan your lives (and your Mums and Dads).

They teach, they encourage, they correct and they do it all for free. Youth sports couldn’t happen without Volunteer coaches and at Allenton cricket we are so very grateful to the time given by our coaches. Thank you - this post is for you…

Thank you for….

🏏 Fielding questions such as, who’s winning? How much longer? And can I bat with John?

🏏 Hauling us out of the trees when it’s our turn to bat.

🏏 Your patience, passion for the game, enthusiasm and knowledge.

🏏 Putting up with a sore back after countless hours of standing still.

🏏 A fist bump or high five when we did well.

🏏 Dealing with sore fingers, bruised ego’s and tying our shoelaces.

🏏 Maintaining a straight face during our lbw appeals and sledges.

🏏 Giving up your time.

🏏 Delivering your umpire calls professionally with confidence and clarity.

🏏 Transporting and carrying the team gear bag.

🏏 Not telling us off when we giggle cos you lost your jandal and tripped trying to move into position for the all important run out call.

🏏 For helping us be the best cricketing version of ourselves we could be.

Thank you ☺️
