Junior Coaching continues with Jeff, Nathan and Lachlan. The juniors are working hard at developing their batting and bowling skills through the winter so they can enjoy their cricket when Spring arrives.
Remember the basics:
Batting - watch the ball, move to the ball, then hit the ball. And always control the bat. You swing the bat - the bat doesn't swing you!
Bowling - strong front arm, head still, "flick" and follow through!
John continues to work hard with the new Fast Bowler's Off Season Strength and Conditioning Program. They are in Week 5 so just starting the second month of the program. The boys who have been most diligent are starting to show real results as the first set of online test results come back in!
Ash has been working very hard with the older guys who are training through the winter in our Senior Coaching Programs with a view to lots of runs and wickets next summer at grade clubs across Sydney. Many of these players are being introduced to some pretty demanding fitness sessions to get them strong enough to maintain their technique for longer periods in the middle when it counts. He is also doing a great deal of work with Joe Mennie who has just received his first "Rookie" Contract with Cricket NSW.
STOP PRESS! Congratulations to Mitch Starc (NSW) who has been selected to play for Australia A in their winter tour. Mitch has been a prominent personality at Activate for a number of seasons. Well done mate!
