Junior Cricket Announcements

Posted: September 09, 2021

Gday Glenunga juniors,

It is fantastic to see the seniors have started their pre season, and many of you may have also started getting the cricket gear out again.

So we are sure everyone wants more details of what’s coming up.
Here are some dates and times for our pre season trainings, and when games start.

First games Sunday 17th October (TBC)

Trainings will start in the school holidays

All pre season training will be at the Glenunga Hub nets and ovals. Weather dependant, so please keep an eye on our FB page for updates.

U10s trainings will be Tuesday nights, initially 4.30-6 then later after daylight savings.
U12s trainings will be Wednesday nights, same time as above.
U14s trainings will be Thursday nights, same times as above.

U10s will start Tuesday 28th September
U12s will start Wednesday 29th September
U14s will start Thursday 30th September

We will also be starting Sunday morning trainings for our 12s and 14s from Sunday 3rd October.
U12s will be from 9-10.30, and U14s will follow from 11-1
These sessions will be 3rd and the 10th October before the first game on the 17th.

We hope everyone is as excited as us to get the bats and balls out again and start hearing the crack of leather on willow.

Can I please now also ask for more volunteers.
We still require another U10 coach, and three more U12 coaches.
Be mindful it’s great to get in early and help us form the teams your kids play in. Otherwise we will form the teams and if your kid is in a team without a coach, they can’t play until someone puts their hand up to coach, and manage and help on the sidelines.
Many helpers make light work and it’s a very rewarding time to be spent with your kids and helping in their development.

Please contact me if you would like any details.
This year each team will require a coach, team manager, and then on game day, a scorer and umpire.

Again we are very excited to see everyone again in the school holidays.

Lastly, I would like to introduce you to Jeremy Glaros (CCd / 0405 842 582) who will be transitioning into the role of GCC Junior Coordinator over the next few weeks. I will still be available to answer any questions that come up, but going forward Jeremy will become the primary contact for all things junior cricket.

Cheers

Babe Ruth

“The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.”

Michael Jordan

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Bruce Lee

I don’t fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks. I fear the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Ian Botham

To me, it doesn’t matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in Cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

Brett Lee

I bowl my best when I am fittest and the best way to get fit is to bowl. That’s how you get your rhythm. You cannot really find a rhythm by bowling in the nets.

Muhammad Ali

I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t Quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.

W G Grace

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

Mickey Mantle

It’s unbelievable how much you don’t know about the game you’ve been playing all your life.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one man cannot make a team.

Lionel, Lord Tennyson

Cricket, however, has more in it than mere efficiency. There is something called the spirit of cricket, which cannot be defined.

Mike Hussey

Test cricket is bloody hard work, especially when you’ve got Sachin batting with what looks like a three-metre-wide bat.

John Arlott

Cricket is a most precarious profession; it is called a team game but, in fact, no one is so lonely as a batsman facing a bowler supported by ten fieldsmen and observed by two umpires to ensure that his error does not go unpunished.

W G Grace

Every cricketer knows that in the early stages of a batsman’s innings i.e. before he gets his eye in — luck plays an important part.

Sachin Tendulkar

I hate losing and cricket being my first love, once I enter the ground it’s a different zone altogether and that hunger for winning is always there.

Rahul Dravid

My approach to cricket has been reasonably simple: it was about giving everything to the team, it was about playing with dignity and it was about upholding the spirit of the game. I hope I have done some of that. I have failed at times, but I have never stopped trying.
