JUNIOR SIGN ON DAY 13TH SEPTEMBER 9-11:30am AT THE ALICE PLAZA
The Junior cricket sign on day will be held at the Alice Plaza on Saturday morning, 13 September from 9am - 11.30am. At this stage we once again anticipate having u/9's, 2 x u/11 sides, u/13's, u/15's and u/17's. Coaches for the upconig season in the different age groups are -
u/9's Gary Schmull and Adrian
u/11's Robert Cameron, Scott Nicolai & Glen Bull
u/13's Alister Young with some assistance from Peter Fitzpatrick and Paul
Bain
u/15's Murray MacAllister & Terry Weeks
u/17's Stephen Jones with some assistance from Scott Allen and Craig Murphy
The season for the juniors looks like it will kick off on 11 October. The Association is looking at clubs having their games at home grounds this year where possible, so we should have either an u/13 or u/15 game at Head St every week. The Coaches of Junior grades for the season will have a get together, with all other coaches from all other clubs, on Monday 15 September at Traeger Park from about 5.30pm. There will be a special guest speaker and the idea is to get to know each other and swap some ideas.
My understanding is that the level one for cricket coaching will be held on Sunday 14 September. Anyone interested please contact either Murray or Terry for details. Having completed this course myself I can vouch that you will find it very informative and helpful.
On another matter, don't forget to come down and support the 'elder' statesmen of this great cricket club as the Masters Games commence on 12 October. The Rovers Relics will be on show and at this stage we have 32 former 'greats' (?) registered and raring to go. There will be former players here from other states performing at levels of excellence never seen before. If you would like to get together with these 'former greats' and rub shoulders with 'olden day legends'
put Friday night, 10 October in your diary as there will be the now traditional 'team bonding' session prior to the Masters Games. This gives us the opportunity to gather and thank our sponsors collectively as we visit each and every venue to reciprocate the generosity they have shown us. Sponsors include - Alice Springs Memorial Club, The Firkin and Hound, Town & Country Tavern, Peter Kittle Motor Company & Mad Harrys. These guys contribute hugely to our 70 + junior members through this sponsorship as all finds raised by these former players and sponsors goes directly to our Juniors, so let's get behind them.
If anyone would like further information on any of the above details please do not hesitate to contact either Terry Weeks on 0418 897 305 or myself, Murray MacAllister on 0488 987 403
Regards,
Murray MacAllister
