Junior Coaching Clinic
The Victorian Blind Cricket Association does not currently have a team of junior players but would like to offer juniors the opportunity to participate in its junior coaching clinic which is run on Saturday between 10:30am and 12:00pm throughout the cricket season. The clinic is run by members of the association, several of which have a level one cricket coaching course accreditation from Cricket Victoria.
The junior coaching clinic will allow younger players to develop their skills, meet new friends and have fun as they train towards the goal of joining one of our club teams.
