Donna wins SACA Community Cricket Volunteer of the Year (South Central Metro)

Congratulations to Donna Clark who was presented with the South Central Metro Community Volunteer of the Year Award.  This was presented before the Strikers v Hurricanes game at the Adelaide Oval New Years Eve.

Thanks to the SACA for the presentation of these awards recognising the efforts of volunteers in the Cricket Community.

Part of Donna's entry included:

Donna plays cricket both Indoor and Outdoor.  She is a coach, a volunteer, a member of committees, role model and embraces Cricket Australia’s vision to be Australia’s favourite sport.  She is always keen to pass on her enthusiasm for the game to the next generation of cricketers.....

Donna not only sets an example with her coaching – but she is very willing to promote the Cricket in a variety of mediums (blogs, school assemblies, national TV programs and publicity shots for The Messenger and School Newsletters.)

She sees the issue of retention of players very important to the sustainable growth of the game.  She is very good at welcoming new players and parents to the club.....   As part of this she works one on one with young players new to the club.  She willing offers her coaching expertise working with female players in the 10-15 age group.  This gives her an opportunity to get to know the new players and in turn gives them a role model.
