A big thank you!
This year we continued to have coaches, assistant coaches and a manager for each team to share the load and support each other. Last year we felt we had the dream team... and this year were blessed to have an even dreamier team. Each one passionate about cricket and supportive. They encouraged the girls to enjoy the experience and learn some skills along the way.
Annetts – Minoli, Darrin, Jo
Sthalekar – Christina, Paul and Poonam
Lanning – Justin and Kirsty – with many parents chipping in each week and assisting in any way possible.
Thank you, thank you, and thank you! We hope you learned as much as we have, and enjoyed your summer. None of these is a paid position and cricket would not be possible or as much fun without these dedicated and amazing leaders.
To the parents who volunteered to help in any way shape or form; scoring, putting out cones, setting up stumps, giving throw drowns, cheering from the sidelines, bringing drinks on the field etc. Your support helps game days and training run all the more smoothly. If you would again like to help in any capacity next year, please let us know.
To each parent who simply got the girls to training and games each week. A big effort sometimes we know, given how busy our lives have become - a sincere thank you also.
To the Executive Committee,
Thanks to all, especially Ross Anderson and Steve Burrows, for helping us implement our second season as Girls Coordinators. Your continued guidance, words of wisdom and caring have been invaluable. We look forward to working with you next season to continue further enhancing the opportunities for the girls in our club.
We are very delighted and excited about the way Girls cricket has been embraced into the club at an executive level and look forward to bigger and hopefully better changes will come in the next season. Stay tuned.
After the season was finished our club had a request from Cricket NSW to gather some 13-15 year old players to film some new coaching videos in the school holidays. Thanks to all the players and coaches who were able to make it. We look forward to seeing our superstars some time later in the year in these coaching videos.
And finally, but most importantly - the reason we turn up each week.
To all the players, we continue in our role because we can see how much you enjoy the game. Your love
of the game, your “sportswomenship” and sense of fun have all helped to make the 2020/21 awesome.
The team spirit, friendships forged and skills developed will set you in good stead for the many challenges you will inevitably face. Playing team sports develops fitness and coordination, but more importantly many valuable life skills such as respect, responsibility and resilience. Enjoy a well eared break away from cricket, and we look forward to an even bigger and better 2021/22 season!
