UNDER 9 – AGE CO-ORDINATOR’S REPORT
This season the Under 9s group had 45 players making up 5 teams. We had a majority of players returning from our Under 8s group from last season which was great to see. It was also great to welcome many new players to our age group.
It has been fantastic to watch the improvement of the players over the season and to see them experience the fun and comradery that comes from playing in a team. The bowling has become faster and more accurate, the batting is showing greater strength and precision and there is more urgency in the fielding. Thanks goes to the coaches and managers who volunteered their time and expertise and worked hard to improve the skills of our players throughout the season. We had Kasun, Greg and Tim from the red team, Vinod and Faisal from the green team, Martin, Jay and Amber from the gold team, Robbie and Amanda from the orange team and Dave and Mat from the blue team.
Many of our players further benefited from attending the extra skills sessions run by Daniel Anderson and his team of coaches. These sessions were a valuable addition to the weekly training sessions.
Pink Stumps Day was a fantastic way for all of our players to come together as a group to finish the season and we hope that all of our players will return to play again in the 2017/18 season in Under 10s.
