Purpose

To provide the most appropriate environments and program to develop and support our school age cricketers allowing them to achieve the goals of reaching the appropriate age group team right into senior cricket. Allowing them to be “the best they can be”.

In order to identify, nurture and develop our school age cricketers. The club has created a pathway program which identifies these groups into specific age groups then will undertake a skill based winter academy program.

The programme will include seven to eight skill sessions led by Ian West and assisted by our excellent Parnell CC coaching staff with the preference to operate with existing contracted PCC coaches (Keerthi and Callum), we will also have the ability to run specific skills sessions utilising our key coaches.

The program will culminate with the groups playing pre-season matches prior to the commencement of the new season and the future peaches joining the premier squad in some pre-season trainings and matches.
