Stingrays win Active After School Award

We were the state winners of the Active After School "Creative Entry by a club" in a competition held by this National Organisation.  This Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) group has supported schools and OSHS with various sports offered to these organisations to encourage young people to become involved in sport.
We have been involved in this since it started 10 years ago.
We run a series of Milo In2 Cricket activities over the seven one hour sessions.

Parts our entry read
"As a District Cricket Club we take our responsibility to the wider community very seriously.  Through the Active After Schools Program we have been able to provide the opportunities for participants to get a taste of the game.  "

"The coaches have been on a learning curve which has seen them become leaders of small groups and running complete sessions on their own.
.˜
It has seen them develop as mature sports people and take on responsibilities which mean they are giving back to the game.  Skills such as reliability, resilience  and organisational skills."
  

And seen them featured on national the national television program TOTALLY WILD
Channel 10




On Saturday mornings we have ten of our coaches running clinics and being part of the a coaching / game super centre which sees participants in the pathway of cricket.  They do Milo in2 Cricket, Girls Supa 6 smash and Kanga. 

There are over 200 participants playing cricket.
