2010 Softball Holiday Clinics
Auckland University Cricket Club is pleased to
announce that we will be running September school holiday
softball
cricket programmes.
With the season just around the corner, this is a
great school holiday experience for both new and experienced
cricketers to get some pre-season practice and
a chance to have a fun time, while developing their
cricketing skills. The emphasis is on skills
development rather than playing games of cricket.
The sessions cover the different aspects and techniques
of fielding (throwing, catching, stopping, pick
up and wicket-keeping; bowling (spin and swing);
batting shots
(grip and stance, front and back foot drives, the
pull-shot, etc) and running between the wickets.
The
skills are taught, practised and then displayed in
modified games, relays and competitions. All are
done with tennis balls and Milo equipment.
There will be two x 2-day clinics, run by
qualified cricket coaches, each
held over two consecutive days. Whist it is a
2-day programme, bookings can be requested for just one
of the days but preference will be given to players
registering for both days. Spaces are limited so
it might not be possible to accept single day bookings,
which can only be confirmed just before the clinic
starts.
The cost
is $50 per day. Spaces are limited.
The clinics will take place at the
Selwyn College Gymnasium (access via the main entrance
to the ASB Stadium on Kohimarama Road) - so they are not weather dependant, though if
it is fine we will move outside for some of the time.
The first clinic is on
Wednesday 29th
and
Thursday 30th September.
The
second clinic is on
Wednesday 6th and
Thursday 7th October.
Each day begins at 9am and finishes at 3pm.
These
clinics are
open to boys and girls in Years 2 through 6 and Girls
U12.
(Players in Years 5 and 6 and U12 Girls Hardball should note that there is
no opportunity to use the hardball in this clinic.
Please refer to
Hardball Clinic 2010
as an alternative).
Each participant is required to bring a water
bottle, snack, lunch, hat and sunscreen.
To make a booking and payment,
log in to our ClubHub system using the "member login"
link above, then select "Tasks" and "Book a Coaching
Course".
(Bookings can be made for daily attendance but priority
will be given to two-day registrations if
oversubscribed.)
I
encourage you to act quickly to avoid disappointment - it should be a great time for all. If you have any
further questions, please contact me on 528-7931
