Last week, 40 keen young local cricketers spent Thursday and Friday afternoon getting ready for the upcoming season at the first Tewantin Noosa Cricket Club Robert James Realty coaching clinic.
Club coach, Ash Gray, put the players through their paces in batting, bowling and fielding in the free junior camp held at Read Park.
“The new season is not far away, and now is the time to start preparing,” Ash said.
“We are looking forward to another strong season and the turn out this week certainly shows how keen our young players are.”
Ash said it was great to see a club offering free clinics to aspiring cricket players.
The club plans to also run weekend camps and three more Sunday clinics throughout the season.
Mr Gray said the aim was to get kids involved in the sport.
“We’re just trying to improve the kids and get kids out here playing cricket and enjoying themselves,” he said.
To sign up for the clinic, phone the club on 5474 0437.
The club will be entering junior teams at all age groups from under 8 through to under 16 this season.
Player sign on will take place in August. Further information is available on the club’s website www.tewantinnoosacricketclub.com.au .
