Woolworths Cricket Blast at KWJCC

Our awesome Junior Assistant Coaches, Committee members and I will be at the Oval from 3pm, setting up the grounds and bringing the kit bags over etc. If you arrive early, your help is greatly appreciated.

Each team has a dedicated, labelled kit bag. Please do a stocktake of your equipment before returning it to the shed.

For any scrapes, knocks, bumps or bites, there is a First Aid kit and cold packs in the Blasters equipment shed. If you need help, ask a KWJCC Committee member (maroon shirts) or come and find me (Optus Stadium with the Level 3 Scorchers).

• Please make sure you know how to run this week’s activities! They are essential for skill development and are great fun too
• Get the parents involved 😊
• Practicing bowling skills is critical. Let me know if you need any help/inspiration to work on any of your kid’ bowling technique
• Keep an eye on the clock and get through your activities

• Set up your stumps ensuring that the kids will not be looking directly into the sun 😜
• Batting coach to stand behind the wicket keeper, give advice to the batters, and tee them up if required
• If the batter misses the ball (1^st instance), the umpire should throw (either overarm or underarm depending on the child’s skill level)
• If the batter misses the ball (2^nd instance, from the umpire), have the child hit the ball off the tee
• This will ensure that every ball, the child has three chances to hit the ball and rotate the strike

• Make sure you know which ground you need to be at 😊
• Learn the activities and join in
• Don’t forget your child’s hat, drink bottle, and sunscreen
• Ensure your child is engaging in the session and is not being disruptive The coaches are not babysitters
• Join in (yes, it’s worth saying more than once) 😊
• Be ready to help switch activities and set up the game
• Look after your coach, your manager, and other parents
