Individual Coaching – October Holidays
In preparation for the new season, Taught and Bowled will be offering individual coaching during the October school holidays. If you would like to do some fine tuning or to build confidence leading into the cricket season then some one-on-one attention is perfect to focus on specific areas of your game.
This program is offered in a 4-day block during the October school holidays from Tuesday October 10 to Friday October 13. The block includes 3 x individual coaching sessions that can focus on batting, bowling, wicket keeping or a combination. Session times are available between 1:00pm and 4:00pm each day. The fourth day will involve a competition net session where players can put what they have learned during the week into practice.

Cricket Camps
Taught and Bowled is offering cricket camps during the October and summer school holidays.
Each camp runs for three mornings and will be held at Parkinson Oval, Kensington Gardens Reserve. The camps are a great way to improve your skills, to have fun and to get your cricket fix during the school holidays. The camps are open to cricketers 8-11 years of age and are ideal for a young cricketer who is playing school or club cricket.
There are three camps available – in October, December or January. Sessions will run from 8:30am until 11:30am each day. The third day of each camp is our ‘Match Day’ where players will get to play games of cricket against each other.

Kensington cricket clubrooms to get $8.3m replacement
The Kensington District Cricket Club clubrooms, established almost 60 years ago, will be replaced with a new $8.3m facility.
Liberal MP James Stevens has confirmed a $3.6m federal grant to enable the shared clubroom project to proceed. The $8.3m facility at Kensington Gardens Reserve will be shared by Kensington District Cricket Club and Burnside Rugby Club.
“The new clubrooms will include suitable change rooms and facilities for female participation in both sports, as well as becoming a broader community facility for other local groups to use for meetings and events,” Mr Stevens said.
