      West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook Cricket Club

    Junior Girls

    We now have a complete pathway for Girls cricketers. Starting with the Junior Blasters (formerly Kanga) designed for 5 to 7 year olds, the Friday night Girls-Only Master Blasters Blast designed for the 7 to 10 year olds and then on to playing in the Sixers Girls Cricket League for girls aged 11 to 17.

    We are thrilled and humbled to have been selected by Cricket NSW as ‘Community Cricket Club of the Year NSW – 2017’ and again in 2019. We were also the runner up in the Sport NSW Community Club of the Year 2017 Awards – an amazing achievement given the many thousands of Sporting Clubs in NSW.

    Also in 2019 we were nominated by CNSW as their recommendation for the Australian Cricket Club of the Year for the ‘Sport for All’ recognition.

    CNSW commented in their recommendation:

    “WPHCCC has been a great example of bringing people of the community together. The Club has proven that hard work and great volunteers can achieve fantastic outcomes for the cricketing community! The Club encompasses a number of attributes that we believe contribute to what is a great cricket Club.”

    We are proud of the community contribution of the Club. As an example, the McGrath Foundation used our Club in a National promotion in 2016/17 as our Club is one of the major cricket club contributors having raised $42,450 since 2011. Tracey Bevan, who heads-up the McGrath Foundation, has sent us a special YouTube thank you note. This can be viewed on – here

    Details of the Junior Blasters  / Kanga Program are found on the separate Team Information tab under www.wphccc.com.au/kanga/

    • Coaching

       

      Cricket Academy

      We are excited to offer our own Cricket Academy that has a structured Program with high quality coaches including many Premier 1st Grade,  1st Class and BBL cricketers.

      The Academy runs for 10 weeks. No other Club offers anything like this and it will be available exclusively to West Penno players.

      What happens at the Academy

      • The Academy is run over 10 weeks with a Coach / Player ratio of around 1:6
      • Sessions are both Outdoor and occasional Indoor sessions depending on weather conditions and availability
      • Session numbers are capped:
        • Girls:                            12 players
      • Specialist expert Coaches /strength and conditioning experts will be engaged to ensure an elite experience for all Academy players
      • A1 Grade and high level Grade cricketers will provide specialist coaching on a needs basis.

       Cost

      $200 for a 10-week Program. This cost is well below any comparable Cricket Academy Program available – anywhere.

      We can do it at this low price as we operate on a not-for-profit basis and our Club subsidises any cost shortfall so that our players can get the best coaching available at very low cost.

    More Information...

    • Code of Conduct

      Introduction

      The WPHCCC has a “Participation over Results” policy in Junior Cricket – Kanga, Girls and Boys. Coaches are encouraged to make sure that all players get equal amounts of batting and bowling over a full season – especially in the younger age groups.

      For us, the development of cricket at a Junior level is more important than winning trophies. For our Club, success is about retaining or increasing the number of boys and girls playing cricket.

      Please remember:

      • children play to satisfy themselves and not adults or members of their own peer group
      • cricket must be administered, taught and provided for the good of all children who want to play the game. It is their game!

      Player’s Code

      • Cricket should be fun. Play because you want to.
      • Play by the rules and spirit of the game
      • Don’t be a dag by arguing with umpires. Never dispute an Umpires decision by word, gesture or action.
      • Sledging other players, deliberately distracting or provoking an opponent is dumb and not good enough. This includes unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and Team motivation.
      • Be a good sport; acknowledge good play, by your team and your opponent
      • Bullying or taking unfair advantage of any player is not on. This includes on-field intimidation and off-field bullying by SMS and/or chat-rooms.
      • Co-operate with your coach, manager, team-mates, umpires and opponents – without them you don’t have a game.

      Parent’s Code

      • Parents are encouraged to actively participate wherever possible. Things like; scoring, umpiring or just being there supporting your child. Cricket, in our Club, should not be seen as a baby-sitting service. Your child will be the winner.
      • Remember, children are involved in cricket for their enjoyment, not yours
      • Focus on your child’s efforts and performance rather that winning or losing
      • Never ridicule or yell at any child for making a mistake – it is only a game.
      • Children learn best by example; applaud good play by your team and by members of the opposing team
      • Derogatory comments about your own team or other players is unacceptable
      • Respect Official’s decisions and teach children to do likewise. Officials are volunteers and without them, your child won’t have a game!
      • Differences (gender, ability/disability, cultural) are irrelevant – treat everyone with respect and dignity.

      Spectator’s Code

      • Children play cricket for their own fun; they are not there to entertain you and they are not playing for sheep stations.
      • Be on your best behaviour; don’t use bad language, harass players, coaches or umpires
      • Show respect for the opposition, without them there would be no game – applaud good play from both teams
      • Never ridicule or scold a player for making a mistake during the game
      • Respect the umpire’s decision – always
      • Encourage players to play within the laws and spirit of the game.

      Coaches Code

      • Young people participate for the fun of competing – not just the winning.
      • Think about measuring your success by the number of children wanting to play next season. Win/loss ratios are forgotten about at the end of the season and are not important.
      • Put things in perspective and move on after adversity – look for the learnings. It is only a game.
      • Encourage lots of laughter and a sense of fun
      • Make mistakes, give it a go – get involved and don’t take yourself too seriously.
      • Never ridicule or yell at a younger player for making a mistake or not coming first
      • Be reasonable in your demands on players’ time, energy and enthusiasm
      • Sudden change – practice adapting to it. Try players in unfamiliar positions and multi-skill every player
      • Operate within the rules and Spirit of Cricket and teach your players to do the same. Show control and respect to everyone involved in cricket. Encourage your players to do the same
      • Avoid overplaying the talented players; all young players need and deserve equaltime, attention and opportunities
      • Ensure that equipment and facilities meet safety standards and are appropriate to the age and ability of players
      • Consider attending a Level 0 / Level 1 Coaching course run through the Club, on behalf of Cricket NSW
      • Any physical contact with a young person should be appropriate
      • Praise children in public but never criticise them in front of their peers
      • Give everyone a ‘fair go’ Gender, ability, cultural background or religion doesn’t matter.

      Umpires Code

      • Act on unsporting behaviour from both sides and promote respect for all opponents
      • Your behaviour and comments should be positive and supportive – you set an example
      • Anyone participating as an umpire, is, according to the Laws of Cricket, deemed to be an umpire. Accordingly, there are responsibilities imposed on them by the Laws: o Firstly, the person must act as a qualified umpire – conducting themselves in a dignified way, give decisions in an unbiased and impartial manner and not become involved in lengthy conversations with the players on the field. o Secondly, the players are to show proper respect to that person and the decisions given as they would a qualified umpire.

      Penalties

      • People who choose to play for our Club do so knowing our expectations on behaviour. Should there be breaches of our Code the Club’s Disciplinary Committee will look at issues referred to it as necessary.
