School Holiday Clinic

Tuesday 16^th December 2008 & Wednesday 17^th December 2008

8am – 11am each day

Brighton Oval @ Highet Street Brighton

Focusing on skill and development and enjoyment of cricket!

Ages 6 – 13 years

$30 inc GST per child for 2 x 3 hour sessions

The clinic is organised to offer all aspects of cricket to Juniors. All standards can be catered for and our aim is to send young players back to their schools/clubs better equipped to play at a more skilled level and more importantly – to continue to enjoy their cricket.

Not all of the drills will be purely cricket. Some warm up exercises, ball games and coordination skilled activities are included.

Limited equipment will be available. If you have your own bat, pads, gloves, helmet, etc it would be advised to bring them with you. Make sure all equipment is clearly marked with your name.

Test your bowling speed on the speed gun to see if you are the next Brett Lee!

All participants’ names are also put in to a draw for a chance to win a new Gray Nicholls bat!

Cheques for the sessions to be made payable to the Brighton Cricket Club.

REMEMBER – SLIP SLOP SLAP – NO HAT = NO PLAY!
